About the Company

Felton Institute responds to the needs of our community by providing innovative, evidence-informed social services that transform lives.
Our organization offers 60+ programs that address mental health, the unhoused, early care and education, those impacted by the justice system, transitional age youth, as well as aging adults.
Our programs combine the latest scientific research with cultural sensitivity and a deep commitment to supporting and reflecting the communities we serve.
Felton offers a dynamic, challenging, and supportive work environment where we encourage the use of professional development, that staff can utilize throughout their career.
The Children, Youth, Family, and Transitional Age Youth Services Division (CYFTAY) offers multidisciplinary programs—including Early Childhood Education, Early Intervention/Inclusion, Family Support, Mental Health Services, Health, Nutrition, Wellness, and Parenting Education—to low-income and underserved infants, toddlers, and preschool children, transitional age youth, and families.
Launched in 2023, the Early Care and Education, Realizing Employment and Creating Hope (ECE REACH) initiative delivers vital workforce development services to both new recruits and established members of Felton’s ECE workforce.
ECE REACH’s Tier 1 pre-apprenticeship offers an evidence-based, fast-track pathway for first-generation, non-traditional college students, immigrant Latinas, and other marginalized adults and transitional-aged youth, while Tier 2 (Teacher) and Tier 3 (Lead Teacher) apprenticeships provide ongoing educational support for incumbent staff pursuing BA degrees while maintaining full-time employment.
By addressing the critical lack of professional and educational resources for underrepresented communities, ECE REACH strives to foster upward mobility within the ECE field.
