Testimonials
The West Contra Costa Youth Services Bureau has been a faithful and vital partner in the Mission of Today’s Youth Matter. Leading together we are working to change the life trajectory of youth and families instilling resilience and support. As a result, they can overcome challenges and experience a life of hope and thriving to rise above and act boldly in the face of adversity.
Foster Family Network, Contra Costa County’s local chapter of the CA State Foster Parent Association, enjoys collaborating with Contra Costa Youth Service Bureau Kinship Services Program in our county, so all caregivers of our most vulnerable children feel appreciated and supported. The dedication and service all caregivers provide will determine the future of our children.
In collaborating with the Contra Costa Youth Service Bureau as a faith-based partner for over 20+ years, we have gone beyond the walls and into the community in offering a wide variety of human and material resources that have proven to be invaluable in assisting children and their families with holiday food boxes, coats, school supplies, and life skills workshops. We will continue to partner with Contra Costa Youth Service Bureau to deliver services that are critical for the well-being of our community.
