About DCYF

The San Francisco Department of Children, Youth and Their Families (DCYF) brings together City government, schools, and community-based organizations to help our city’s children and youth, birth to age 24, and their families, lead lives full of opportunity, fulfillment, and happiness. The people of San Francisco have made a unique commitment to our community by dedicating funding to vital services. We are committed to allocating the City's investment in children, youth, and families through strategic grant making processes to provide equitable and holistic services. We, with the support of our partners, strive to make San Francisco a great place to grow up. DCYF acknowledges that we carry out our work on the unceded ancestral homeland of the Ramaytush Ohlone, the original inhabitants and stewards of the San Francisco Peninsula. As the government agency that stewards the Children and Youth Fund, we accept the responsibility that comes with resources derived from property taxes upon unceded and colonized land. We recognize the history and legacy of the Ramaytush Ohlone as integral to how we strive to make San Francisco a great place for life to thrive and children to grow up.
