For the children who are in our Resource Family homes, we work with their birth families with the expectation that reunification can be established when a healthy environment can be provided by these families in the future.

CFLC's three Youth Opportunity Centers (Hemet, Lake Elsinore, Rubidoux) offer young adults the opportunity to engage in work experience, education, postsecondary education, career training, and employment. CFLC in partnership with Riverside County Office of Education offers a YouthBuild Plus program to provide education, leadership development, community service, and meaningful project-based occupational skills training in phlebotomy, logistics and construction for disadvantaged youth between the ages of 16-24. The YOCs also provide the STEPS program in partnership with the Workforce Development Board and Department of Rehabilitation to provide work experience and training for youth with disabilities (100 youth are served through this program).

Our STRTP restores hope and a chance to heal for youth ages 13-18 from traumatic events in their lives. Each youth is provided appropriate service intervention(s) to include mental health services, counseling, skill building, building positive peer and family interactions, case management and linkage to community-based services.

The Legislative Internship Program and Youth Advisory Council provides service to our communities and creates an upmost internship experience working alongside Riverside County Board of Supervisors' staff. This program gives youth in Riverside County a voice, provides training for our young adult interns, and facilitates county-wide events for high school students and Youth Opportunity Center participants.

“To provide safety, comfort and healing to children suffering abuse and abandonment” is the beginning of CFLC’s mission statement. Our Chaplaincy program provides a connection to safety, comfort and healing and hope for the many children in our care. Our Chaplaincy program works in the community to build awareness and increase positive connections and advocacy to help strengthen the children, youth, and families that CFLC serves. The Giving Tree is an annual outreach in the community at local businesses, schools, and churches with many gifts donated at Christmas time to make the holiday a blessing to those served. Chaplaincy continues to provide support for youth and children through the generous donations of our donors.

SafeCare is an evidence-based, parent-training program for parents of children ages 0-5 who are at-risk for or have been reported for child neglect or physical abuse. SafeCare staff work with families in their homes to develop parenting skills by providing real-life practical training. Parents receive weekly home visits to improve skills in home safety, health care, and parent-child interaction.

The Kin Care relative caregivers are making a commitment that is keeping children out of foster care and connected to their family. It is through kinship services that there is an increase to the chances for children’s success by building the strength of the families to meet their health, financial, social, emotional, and parenting needs.

CFLC promotes healing in traumatized youth as we assist youth in identifying their strengths to enhance their self-esteem, as well as assist them in focusing on goals. Our Mental Health Department has experienced licensed Clinicians to offer individual counseling, and support groups and help youth transition out of congregate care while strengthening family connections; improving mental and behavioral health functioning; increasing safety, wellness, and resiliency.

CFLC believes every child deserves the love, safety, and unconditional commitment of a family and the opportunity to develop in a healthy environment and the opportunity to thrive. This is our third year as an adoption Agency. CFLC recognizes that “Forever Families” provide safety and hope for children in caring families.

The Family Resource Network is CFLC’s new program that helps build family resiliency by reducing parent stress, connecting parents to resources and each other, by empowering caregivers to be confident in their parenting skills. The Family Resource Network provides prevention services and early intervention, community-based services, and intensive programs to stabilize families.
