Founded in 1983, Sierra Forever Families mission is to transform the lives of children in foster care by building and nurturing permanent families. In 2009, Sierra adopted the Wonder Mentoring Program which provides one-to-one mentoring for children and youth in foster care.
Since the agency's founding, more than 3,500 children and youth have successfully found a FOREVER FAMILY. The agency provides adoption and post-adoption services to area families and individuals at virtually no cost. The agency relies on funding from the federal, state and local governments, foundations, corporations and the community at large to ensure that the valuable services are available to children and families throughout Northern California.
