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. 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.

Youth & Family Programs - Butte County Foster Care
As a foster parent I highly recommend this agency! We were originally certified through the county and it was an absolute mess. Don't make the same mistake I did, go with Youth and Family first! The staff is wonderful and they help so much with transport, visits, paperwork and special activities for these wonderful kids. Being with them makes me able to be a better foster parent.
