Mike Logan’s career has been profoundly rooted in serving others, particularly children and youth. He has dedicated his life to fostering healthier, happier futures for those in need. His mission has always been to create meaningful change in the lives of others.
As a proven social business leader, Mike’s track record speaks for itself. From 1986 to 1999, he worked in and administered programs supporting individuals with mental health needs, developmental disabilities, and at-risk youth in residential care. During this time, he also founded and developed a hospital-based drug and alcohol treatment program.
In 1999, Mike established Children First Foster Family Agency (CFFFA), which, under his vision and leadership, has grown into a thriving organization with an annual revenue exceeding $14 million. Serving six counties in northern California, CFFFA offers a comprehensive range of services, including General Foster Care, Intensive Services Foster Care, Transitional Housing Programs, Clinical Counseling Services, school-based social-emotional intervention programs, and a philanthropic fund to support school-aged students living in extreme poverty or homelessness.
Mike’s life journey reflects his unwavering commitment to supporting underserved and marginalized communities. From his rural roots in Colorado and his service in the U.S. Army assisting MIA/POW families at the Pentagon, to founding one of northern California’s leading foster care organizations, Mike has devoted himself tirelessly to the well-being of others.
His dedication extends beyond his professional endeavors. Together with his wife, Terri, Mike adopted twin seven-year-old boys and guided them into adulthood. Today, they continue their commitment to family as guardians of their 13-year-old grandson, who is developmentally disabled.
As Mike Logan steps away from his role as Chief Executive Officer of Children First, we honor his extraordinary legacy of leadership, compassion, and service. His lifelong contributions to child welfare and social services have made an indelible impact, and we celebrate his exemplary life of purpose and dedication.
