Our Story
Formed in 1978, SETA is a joint powers agency of the City and County of Sacramento to provide employment, training, and support services to the community. By 1980, SETA had a budget of $19 million and 76 employees. As SETA continued to grow, so did our programs and services. Not long after in 1983, SETA began to implement early childhood education through Head Start and Early Head Start, provide services to foster youth and refugees, offer employer services, and assist families and individuals experiencing homelessness, or health issues and impairments.
The goal of all SETA programs is to help individuals and families overcome barriers to become fully self-sufficient. SETA’s success is attributed to the dedication of its board and committee members, staff, partners and supporters. Today, SETA is more committed than ever to serving the residents of Sacramento County. By providing funding to our partner and neighborhood organizations, we ensure that everyone has access to the resources and support they need to thrive.
