A first opportunity can change a life.
Every young person deserves the opportunity to build confidence, develop skills, and create a brighter future.
Right now, we are getting ready to transform an unused space on our Oakland campus into something much more than a café.
We're creating Café Vida—a place where transition-age youth leaving foster care will gain paid job training, mentorship, mental health support, and the confidence to build independent futures.
Because Café Vida is more than a café.
It's a first opportunity. A first paycheck. A first step toward lasting independence.
When you make a gift today, you're helping bring Café Vida to life while also providing the flexibility to meet the greatest needs across our programs. Your support allows us to respond wherever the need is greatest—strengthening behavioral health care, workforce development, housing, crisis services, and other life-changing programs that help children, youth, and families across California thrive.
