FAM 1ST FAMILY FOUNDATION

Oakland, California, 94608 United States

Mission Statement

Fam 1st Family Foundation is dedicated to uplifting and empowering youth in the Bay Area and throughout the United States. The foundation’s mission is one of empowerment and education, aiming to build self-esteem and academic learning skills in underprivileged youth.

About This Cause

The Fam 1st Family Foundation designs and implements programs which develop both hard skills (professional competence) and soft (life) skills, beginning at a young age and carrying through to young adulthood with persistence and constancy. The purpose of Fam 1st Family's programming is to move our young people through phases of development which will inculcate them with adaptability. We believe that adaptability leads to better outcomes in school, family life and professional careers. Adaptability comes from each youth having a sense of his or her own competence, confidence, accountability, and patience. If hard skills (such as computer science, culinary, business entrepreneurship, graphic design and architecture) are brought to the youth in a culturally sensitive and engaging, and challenging manner, then our youth not only gain professional competence, they gain the ability to adapt to any situation, challenge or setback that flows from growing up in a low income environment. What this means is very simple – we start not only our educational programs, but our career development programs, at as early an age as we can design an age appropriate program.
