Our Story

Nuevo Amanecer means New Sunrise.

The purpose of NALCS is to create different programs that will provide children, especially Latino children, with a full range of educational and family-based treatment services such as prevention, foster care, intensive care, mental health services, independent living, shelter care, services to unaccompanied children and family preservation, among others. In addition these services are structured within specific programs.

Since its founding, NALCS has upheld its nonprofit values by ensuring quality care, professional standards, and ongoing support for children and families. NALCS is proud to be a member of the following organizations:

• Foster Family-based Treatment Association (FFTA)
• CAAA
• AdoptUsKids
• California Alliance for Children & Families

Nuevo Amanecer Latino Foster Family Agency (“NALFFA”) is an effective program that has been organized to provide children with therapeutic family-based treatment and with well trained and devoted resource families who want to provide children with nurturance, safety, understanding, and support, medical, dental, psychological, academic, and psychological referrals; with a warm and stable environment within their homes. The staff and the resource parents work together as a strong team providing consistent foster care, family warmth, and the appropriate treatment for the children and their biological families.
