Stanford Sierra Youth & Families

Since our founding in 1900, Stanford Sierra Youth & Families has continuously evolved to meet the needs of vulnerable communities. From our beginnings as an orphanage to our role today as a dynamic, community-centered organization, our commitment has remained steadfast: ensuring every young person has the family, stability, and resources they need to thrive. As we celebrate this incredible milestone, we extend our deepest gratitude to our community of supporters who help bring our mission to life. Join us in celebrating this achievement through special events and activities planned throughout the year! #125Anniversary #TransformingLives #SSYAF
