First 5 Alameda County

First 5 Alameda County helps young children grow up healthy and ready to learn during the most important time in their development. We have nearly two decades of experience funding innovative programs and advocating for policies that produce better futures for our children.

Our Vision: Every child in Alameda County will have optimal health, development and wellbeing to reach their greatest potential.

Our Mission: In partnership with the community, we support a county-wide continuous prevention and early intervention system that promotes optimal health and development, narrows disparities and improves the lives of children from birth to age five and their families.
