FELTON INSTITUTE DAY

Celebrating 134 Years of Service

Felton Institute is a leader in providing cutting-edge services that transform people’s lives. At the heart of our work is the belief that individuals and families in crisis must have access to services and resources to help them build on their inherent strengths and develop self-sufficiency.

In 2019, San Francisco Mayor, London Breed, proclaimed October 30th, Felton Institute Day, “Felton is an important partner in making us deliver what is necessary to make San Francisco a better, more equitable place for our residents,” Mayor Breed said.

Leading with compassion and fostering successful outcomes to all we serve, Felton hosted community events that inspire. From events promoting mental health awareness, to partnering with Bay Area artists and members of the Deaf community, to hosting international delegations to showcase our cutting-edge services, Felton continues to thrive.
