California Youth Connection (CYC) is a youth-led nonprofit that aims to develop leaders among young people affected by the child welfare system to drive reforms in foster care and related systems through community organizing, policy advocacy, and changes in practice. Based in Oakland, California, the organization operates within the nonprofit sector and focuses on transforming how services and policies affect youth in care. Its stated aim is to ensure that youth impacted by welfare systems have their needs met and receive support to grow into healthy, thriving adults. CYC works with youths transitioning from foster care and others navigating intersecting systems to address their specific challenges. In 2023, the organization partnered with Pivotalnow to bring the Foster Youth Museum to Santa Clara University's Sobrato Campus for Discovery and Innovation.
