First Place For Youth

About First Place for Youth: Founded in 1998, First Place for Youth envisions a world in which involvement in the foster care system does not limit young people's opportunity to thrive. Its mission is to support foster youth to build the comprehensive skills needed to make a successful transition to self-sufficiency and responsible adulthood. First Place provides evidence-based, results-driven direct services to more than 1,500 foster youth each year in six California counties-Alameda, Contra Costa, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Santa Clara, and Solano-and through its My First Place™ Network with partner providers in Boston, New York City, Cincinnati, and Mississippi.
