Become a Foster Parent.

You can make a difference:

Foster care is an opportunity to provide a safe haven to children who range in age from birth to 17, from all racial and ethnic backgrounds.

The role of a foster parent:

Foster parents are essential to providing stable, temporary homes that protect and nurture these children in the hope of eventual reunification with their birth parents. Foster parents are 24-hour care providers and role models. They provide food and shelter and transportation to appointments. They are part of a team, working cooperatively with birth parents.

Services for foster families include:

• Ongoing support
• Educational training
• 24-hour on-call service
• Clothing allowance for child (twice a year)
• Coverage of children’s critical needs that cannot be met by any other funding source
