First 5 Contra Costa is an early childhood advocate organization created by California voters to invest Proposition 10 tobacco tax revenues in Contra Costa County. First 5 Contra Costa helps young children start school healthy and ready to learn. We invest in programs and advocate for policies focused on children during their first five years, the most important time in children's development.
Our vision is that Contra Costa's children grow up healthy, ready for school, and supported in safe, nurturing families and communities.
