Empowering youth and families for life long success…
Who We Are
At Foster First, we want to ensure that every child placed within our programs is provided the tools necessary to gain life long skills that will benefit them throughout their life.
Established in 2003, as Community Resource Group, we began providing services to the Yakima and Wenatchee area.
In June of 2019, we changed our name to Foster First, still continuing to serve children and families.
Foster First serves Yakima, Kittitas, Chelan, Douglas, Franklin, Benton, Grant, and Klickitat counties.
We’ve grown in our continuum of care and have recently added a residential home for females in Wenatchee. We evaluate and help train individuals and couples interested in being foster parents.
