Foster Program
We look for families and individuals who are willing to open their homes and hearts to abused and neglected children, ages 8-17, needing short-term or permanent placement. Our goal is to find culturally accepting and diverse families willing and able to support, nurture, empower and keep these children safe. Our children come from a wide-range of cultural and ethnic backgrounds and require the love and support of a stable family environment. We provide information, initial and ongoing training, crisis interventions, behavioral coaching, counseling services and 24/7 on-call support to our Foster/Adoptive Families.
If you or some one you know is interested in becoming a foster parent or learning about other foster care opportunities, please call our Foster Family Coordinator at (925) 933-2627 or email fosterparents@youthhomes.org. You can also download an application form by clicking here.
