Who We Are.  Join our team and help the Department of Children, Youth and Their Families (DCYF) make San Francisco a great place to grow up!

DCYF is a strong voice at the heart of the City’s commitment to children, youth, TAY, and their families. We have administered San Francisco’s Children and Youth Fund since 1991, bringing together government agencies, schools, and community‐based organizations (CBOs) to help our city’s youth and their families lead lives full of opportunity and happiness. DCYF and our partners have a proud history of funding high quality, culturally relevant and empowering services with a deep commitment to advancing equity and healing trauma.
DCYF provides grants and technical assistance to CBOs and supports partnerships with public agencies to provide services in all San Francisco’s neighborhoods. Our funding areas include Early Care and Education; Educational Supports; Emotional Well-Being; Enrichment, Leadership & Skill Building; Family Empowerment; Justice Services; Mentorship; Outreach & Access; Out of School Time; and Youth Workforce Development.

Through our funding, partnerships, and community engagement efforts we seek to support a continuum of services that provides children, youth, TAY and their families with opportunities to be healthy, succeed in school, prepare for the future, engage in positive activities and live in safe and supported communities.

With funding from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), DCYF is able to sponsor the Summer Food Service Program (SFSP) and the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP). SFSP and CACFP are designed to offer nutritious, free meals to youth when school is not in session and after school hours during school-year months, respectively. DCYF works in partnership with local meal vendors to administer the program throughout the City of San Francisco. SFSP and CACFP are regulated by USDA and overseen by the State of California Department of Education (CDE) and California Department of Social Services (CDSS), respectively.
