Sierra Vista Child and Family Services

We need your help to provide loving homes for children who need safety, stability, and support. As a Resource Parent, you can provide temporary care for children until they can safely reunify with their birth families or become a forever home for children who are open for adoption.

Over the past four decades, Sierra Vista has grown into one of the largest nonprofit agencies in the region, serving on average more than 20,000 children and families each year with more than 250 dedicated employees, 28 programs, and providing services in school districts throughout Stanislaus and Merced County. Integrating these programs into the community has created a sustainable continuum of child and family services that are accessible and tailored to address a broad range of needs.

By offering quality programs that meet the growing needs of the thousands of people of all ages who are overwhelmed with mental illness, child abuse, or substance abuse, children and families have found healing and hope at Sierra Vista. Through our continuum of services, we meet the needs of thousands of children, families, and individuals who struggle with mental health issues, child abuse, domestic violence, social behaviors, special education needs, parenting, and challenges within the family unit, and children who need Forever Families.
