The California Alliance of Child and Family Services is the unifying force in the charge to lead change and provide support for the state’s children, youth, and families. For those dedicated to improving the lives of these at-risk populations, the California Alliance stands apart as the champion and leading voice for organizations that advocate for children and families, and for advancing policy and services on their behalf. More than 150 chief executives of organizations that serve California’s most vulnerable populations trust the California Alliance to provide legislative and regulatory advocacy to the governor and the Legislature, as well as a host of state departments, including: Health and Human Services, Finance, Mental Health, Social Services, Education, and Community Care Licensing.

The Catalyst Center leverages connections between research, policy, and practice to inform and lead capacity building efforts amongst service providers across the state of California who work in the fields of child and family services. The Catalyst has over twenty years of experience innovating provider supports, with a team of expert trainers and technical assistance providers in issues areas including: child welfare, behavioral health, education, prevention, juvenile justice, residential care, and foster and adoption care.

The California Alliance of Child and Family Services and the Catalyst Center serve a statewide network of professionals and collaborates with advocates, community-based service programs, national and state organizations, legal, health, and mental health professionals, researchers, and advocates from social justice organizations working to support the health and wellbeing of children and families. The California Alliance of Child and Family Services and Catalyst Center offer a rich working environment that includes connecting with inspiring activists and frontline providers, an opportunity to understand the experiences of children, youth, and families, and how all these forces contribute to sociopolitical change and systems transformation. Both the CA Alliance and its Catalyst Center are committed to ensuring that our work is centered in equity and social justice, working to ensure that the voices of those most impacted are part of any decision-making processes.

The Center and the Alliance are dedicated to maintaining an environment that prioritizes diversity, equity, and inclusion.
