ABOUT US
Children First FFA is dedicated to helping change lives by providing a safe place for children to heal in a culture of love, acceptance, and consistency.
Who We Are
Children First Foster Family Agency is a private, non-profit agency founded in 1999 by Mike Logan. Over the past 20 years, Children First has grown from one employee to nearly 50, and from one small office to offices in Tehama, Shasta and Siskiyou counties.
Children First was originally created to meet the needs of children in foster care. After several years, the mission was expanded to include the counseling of children and adults. Today, we have programs and services for children that include foster care, counseling, and programs that give children a chance to excel. We have become the primary Foster Family agency in both Tehama and Siskiyou counties and have worked closely with all three counties. Children First is known for reliability, consistency, and support. Our goal is to serve children and foster parents, and we will continue to grow and change as needed to accomplish this.
“There is nothing more rewarding than to know that we have provided something to someone who may not have received it if we were not here.”
– Mike Logan Founder and CEO
