There is a family for every child & a child for every family.
Sierra Nevada Connections is an established non-profit, community-based family services agency that provides foster and adoption services in Chico, California and Reno, Nevada.
Founded in 1986, Sierra Nevada Connections helps navigate the journey of fostering and adoption with solution-focused resources and a nurturing, progressive approach.
For over 35 years, Sierra Nevada Connections has been providing quality and innovative family placements, ensuring stability and life-sustaining changes for foster and adoptive children. Sierra Nevada Connections’ mission is to serve the greater community by placing all children in need regardless of ethnicity, age, special needs or unique circumstances into loving foster care and adoptive homes. Sierra Nevada Connections families positively transform the lives of children and young people by providing a safe and nurturing home environment where children can grow, flourish, and reach their highest potential.
“There is the art and science of the perfect match that can only
be known by taking the time to get to know the families as well
as the children.” — Dr. Shauna Rossington, DBA, LMFT

Running with the Bears
June 26, 2021
10K, Half-Marathon and Marathon
Stunning views and a fast and fun course! No crowded start lines, easy to manage packet pick up and a renown post-race BBQ. The marathon route is great for first-timers or those 26.2 milers looking for the PR or a Boston Marathon qualifying time. An ideal event for any level of runner and great for a small group destination race. Experience a truly fun and unique running event with RWTB 2021!

“We have been with Sierra Nevada Connections for over eight years. Their social workers and staff are the best, which sets them apart from the rest of the agencies out there. They are always available to their families and help foster parents find solutions to difficult situations. Everyone works together, so you never feel like you are on your own while dealing with the system.”
