Our Impact: Napa County Office of Education

Picture
While all children have a right to a free public education, they do not all come to school from a level playing field. Children learn better when they feel safe and secure at home. When that trust has been broken, they have an increased need to fit in, and find support, reassurance and connection in their school and with their peers. 

Without extra support, they tend to fall behind their peers academically and are at greater risk for dropping out of school. The FKF is a valuable resource to help restore a child’s joy and encourage their dreams, by experiencing typical childhood activities. Thanks to the FKF and their collaborative partners, many children and youth have brighter futures.

The The FKF is in invaluable resource in the lives of foster youth, foster parents, and social workers by providing critical funding to enable the foster child and foster parent to help   care for the child as well as help “normalize” the lives of foster youth. Many foster youth are unable to participate in afternoon activities (dance classes, karate, sports leagues) because there is no systemic (CWS) funding for these activities.
