Tribal Oak Tree is California’s only Native American and Alaska Native-led foster agency. Our nonprofit organization pairs resource families that provide loving, nurturing homes with an emphasis on Indigenous culture, traditions, and customs with Native American & Alaska Native youth who are in the foster care system.

TOT has two office locations: San Diego and Sacramento, which provide services to Sacramento, Riverside, San Diego, and surrounding counties.
