First Place for Youth is a Bay Area based nonprofit organization whose programs proactivley challenge the trends among former foster youth by building self-esteem, self reliance, and forging the skills necessary for successful independent living. Focusing on housing stability, educational support, economic security, improved health, and connection to community, First Place programs are considered a national model for supporting youth in their transition out of foster care. With these critical resources, youth are significantly more likely to overcome homelessness, poverty, low educational achievement, and poor health.
