Felton Institutes, Young Family Resource Center (YFRC) is one of California’s first peer-directed, peer-focused programs focused exclusively on teen and young-adult parents and their children. YFRC integrates a youth-development model, peer-to-peer service delivery and wraparound resources, and serves as a model of family support and youth development principals. YFRC serves clients citywide and offers a network of support services including: parenting education, early literacy workshops, father support groups, art classes, family-centered activities, education around child-development, nutrition and cooking workshops and other postsecondary educational classes for teen and young adult parents across San Francisco.

Our Young Family Resource Center, is meeting the unique needs of pregnant and parenting adolescents and their children birth to five years of age. The Center provides a friendly environment for parents to access resources for their families, with a focus to empower and provide support to young parents and their families. Our staff team is experienced in addressing the needs, and challenges many young parents and their children experience. We provide an array of services to San Francisco Families that promote community connections, building parent and caregiver capacity and coordinated formal supports that help families access resources available to them in this city. Our purpose is to provide parents with child development skills and develop their capacity to navigate public education systems for their children in a safe learning environment.
