Only 1 in 25 foster youth earn a four-year college degree...

What if growing opportunities defined a youth's future instead of circumstance?

This problem affects more than just foster youth. It reveals a lack of exposure, mentorship, and to our young adults. Futures First is working to change that by working to provide free education and workforce development resources, referrals, workshops, guidance, and more access to thrive.

Throwback to our last Futures First Surf Therapy Event! We hope you all had a blast. As we continue to provide our Futures First Youth more events, we encourage you all to spend some more time outside, practice, gratitude, and be in community.

🏆 A Historic Win for California Workers!

We are thrilled to share that Governor Newsom signed the 2026–27 State Budget, securing $30 million annually for the California Workplace Outreach Program (CWOP) for the next three years! 🎉

Our own outreach navigator, as well as other organizations, traveled to Sacramento to advocate for this funding. This is a win for all workers who are too often overlooked or targeted with trusted resources, support, and knowledge of their rights.

We’re proud to celebrate this important step toward a future where every worker has the tools and opportunity to thrive!
