Welcome to

At Children First we are dedicated to serving the needs of foster children, ages infant to 18, and the families who care for them.

Founded in 1999 Children First FFA is private non -profit corporation serving Tehama, Shasta and Siskiyou counties. We are dedicated to providing foster children with safe and secure homes where they are able to experience a loving home environment while their family is healing and working toward restoration.

This site will provide answers to questions about becoming a foster parent. Our first concern is for the safety and well-being of the children, but we are also very concerned about the health and growth of the foster families we support. We provide training, encouragement, and 24 hour emergency support to help the foster family provide the best possible environment for foster children.

Like our foster parents, all of us at Children First love kids, whether they're little babies or nearly grown teen-agers. If you share that love for kids, please read on and learn how easy it is to make a strong, positive impact in a child or young adult's life.
