First 5 Siskiyou is a commission that invests in the future of young children and their families in Siskiyou County, California. Their mission is to promote the health and well-being of young children during their most critical years of development, from the prenatal stage through age five. They focus on improving family well-being, enhancing early learning and development, improving child health, and strengthening family and community support.
First 5 Siskiyou's funding comes from revenue generated by Proposition 10, a voter-approved tax on cigarettes and other tobacco products. They strive to increase resources for families, improve access to high-quality early care and education programs, provide screenings and education for child health, and create collaborations for effective collective impact. Through their initiatives and partnerships, they aim to support parents in nurturing healthy development and a love of learning in their children, preparing them to enter school as active learners.
