Youth & Family Programs- Shasta County

Youth & Family Programs- Shasta County Since 1984 Youth & Family Programs has been providing a supportive, safe, and stable environment for foster families and foster children.

Youth and Family Programs was established in 1984. We work with children age infant to 21 years old who have been detained by Butte and Shasta County. We also offer Transitional Housing and the Independent Living Program for our youth in extended foster care. There are over 58,000 children in the foster care system in California. Foster care provides a stable environment that assures a child's saf

ety and well-being while their parents attempt to resolve the issues that lead to the out-of-home placement. Anyone who is safe, stable, adult, married, or single with room in their hearts and home for children in need can become a foster parent. You must be willing to be responsible for the care of a foster child, be willing to become a part of our team, and be able to meet the Community Care Licensing requirements.

💙 Happy Father’s Day from Youth & Family Programs 💙

Today, we celebrate and honor all of the incredible foster dads, fathers, grandfathers, and the many men who have stepped into the role of a father with love, compassion, and unwavering support.

Thank you for the guidance you provide, the lessons you teach, the encouragement you give, and the countless ways you help shape young lives. Whether by birth, foster care, adoption, or simply by choosing to show up and love a child, your presence makes a lasting difference.

The impact of a caring father figure cannot be measured, and we are grateful for each of you.

To all the dads and father figures who make a difference every day—thank you. We celebrate you today and every day.

💙 Happy Father’s Day from all of us at Youth & Family Programs.

Placement in Foster Care Reality-
Children in foster care may experience multiple placements while in the system, which can impact their sense of stability and belonging.

Foster parents and caregivers play a critical role in providing consistency, care, and compassion during uncertain times.

Could you open your home—or your heart—to a child in need? 💙

Many youth in foster care in California are teens preparing for adulthood—often without permanent family connections.

Programs across the state help support independent living skills, education, and career readiness—but they still need caring adults in their corner.

Connection matters. Mentorship matters. YOU matter.

This Foster Care Awareness Month, Youth and Family Programs would like to recognize the incredible social workers working tirelessly behind the scenes for children and families in foster care.

Behind every case file is a child needing support, a family navigating challenges, and a social worker carrying the emotional weight of difficult decisions, long days, and endless advocacy. Their work often goes unseen, but their impact changes lives every single day.

To the social workers who answer late-night calls, fight for resources, support reunification, encourage foster families, and continue showing up even on the hardest days — thank you. Your compassion, resilience, and dedication do not go unnoticed.

During Foster Care Awareness Month, we stand beside you in recognizing the importance of supporting children, youth, and families in our communities. 💙

A special thank you to our incredible social workers and staff who not only dedicate their hearts to supporting children and families in our community, but who are also wonderful moms themselves. Your compassion, patience, strength, and unconditional care do not go unnoticed.

Every child and family deserves a place where they feel safe, welcomed, and supported. 💙⚓️

This beautiful board was thoughtfully created by our talented staff at Youth and Family Programs as a warm welcome to the children, youth, and families who walk through our office doors each day. The message, “You are SAFE in our harbor,” reflects the heart behind the work we do in foster care and family support services.

For many children involved in foster care, having a safe space and caring people around them can make all the difference. Our team works hard to create an environment filled with kindness, encouragement, hope, and compassion — a place where families know they are valued and supported.

Thank you to our amazing staff for using their creativity and care to help make our offices feel like a safe harbor for everyone we serve. 💙
