Recognizing Our Impact
“These are opportunities that inspire youth to see the world in a different light.”
— Small to Large: Growing Social Impact Organizations Against All Odds
Rooted in Purpose
CSKF’s mission is rooted in compassion and a deep responsibility to care well for children and families, honoring their dignity, potential, and unique journey as they heal, grow, and thrive.
The Difference We've Made
Since 2005, CSKF has provided safe, nurturing homes for more than 4,000 children, supported the reunification of over 1,200 families, and delivered specialty mental and behavioral health services to youth across Riverside, San Bernardino, and Orange Counties. Every service we provide is centered on restoring stability, cultivating resilience, and empowering those we serve to recognize their value and potential.
Innovation that Inspires
Our work has been recognized for its innovative and community-centered approach to care, including being featured in Small to Large Growing Social Impact Organizations Against All Odds and other publications, which highlighted organizations that continued creating meaningful impact despite economic hardship. In the publication, organizations like CSKF were described as "Recession Stars" —organizations that grew not simply in size, but in mission, reach and community impact during times of uncertainty.
As shared in Small to Lage:
"When one gathers resources and allies rather than dollars, they create a deep network that serves the mission."
A Philosophy of Individualized Care
This philosophy reflects the heart of CSKF's work. Our Growth has always been rooted in relationships, collaboration, and a commitment to meeting children and families where they are with care that is thoughtful, flexible, and individualized.
The Philosophy Behind Our Care
“We cannot universalize an approach to kids.”
— Dr. Ryan Cargando
Powered by Community
Our impact is made possible through the dedication of resource families, our team, community partners, supporters, and advocates who believe every child deserves safety, belonging, and the opportunity to succeed. These recognitions represent far more than organizational growth, but also reflect transformed lives, restored families, and stronger communities.
A Future Built on Empowerment & Hope
At CSKF, impact is measured not only in numbers, but in stories of healing, reunification, resilience, and renewed possibility.
“We don't just offer therapy —we offer hope.”
— Ciara C., LCSW, Clinical Therapist
Together, we remain committed to empowering every child, every family, and every story —one at a time.
