At First 5 Orange County, we believe that community voice is essential in shaping programs and policies that truly serve children and families. By participating in these programs, you are helping to elevate the voices of families across Orange County and ensuring that our youngest children thrive. We recognize and value the time, expertise, and lived experiences of community members who participate in our initiatives, and we are proud to offer stipends for select programs as a way to honor that commitment.

To support this process, Charitable Ventures serves as the third-party administrator of stipends on behalf of First 5 Orange County.

If you are participating in a program that offers a stipend, please be sure to complete the required forms and submit any necessary documentation specific to your program in order to receive your stipend.
