About American Indian Child Resource Center
The American Indian Child Resource Center is a non-profit social services and educational community-based organization serving American Indian community members from across the greater Oakland/San Francisco Bay Area and surrounding counties.
The American Indian Child Resource Center (AICRC) is an American Indian led, American Indian serving, 501(c)3 non-profit community service organization focusing on American Indian foster care, mental health, education & cultural protective factors. AICRC was founded in 1974 and is an established leading organization in American Indian youth services and delivering best practice programs for positive cultural identity and belonging.
Our mission is to preserve and promote the cultural integrity of American Indian youth and their families.
AICRC envisions an empowered multi-tribal American Indian community where American Indian youth and families thrive in a healthy environment with access to needed resources. We see our community collectively exercising food sovereignty by providing options for every family to have access to healthy food choices. AICRC believes families will demonstrate resiliency, health and balance through secure and/or affordable housing. AICRC will seek guidance from an elders council for their wisdom to influence programming. We see broadly distributed assets, resources & collaborations that respond to needs & reinforce community and sense of belonging. AICRC will continue developing resilient youth who have a positive strong sense of self through culturally relevant education & multi-disciplinary opportunities for success that will provide leadership at AICRC for future generations. AICRC will establish a culture of inclusiveness, practice common core values that foster identity as American Indian peoples, reinforce a sense of belonging & encourage individual connection to respective tribes.
