Two leading non-profits unite to address the education and employment crisis facing foster youth!
We are extremely proud and excited to announce
our pending merger with Silicon Valley Children's Fund. We just completed our 7th year of supporting youth with employment and can't thank each of you enough for your support. Stay tuned for bigger and better things to come!

Silicon Valley Children's Fund (SVCF) and TeenForce announced today that they will merge to form a powerful organization committed to providing ten years of education and employment support to all foster youth ages 14-24 in Silicon Valley. The merger comes at a critical time - only 3% of foster youth graduate from college and 75% have little to no work experience by age 18. Without the right supports in place, 40% of foster youth will experience homelessness within 18 months of emancipating from foster care.
