Make a Positive Impact
When you become a foster parent you:
- Open your heart to children and teens that need you
- Provide a safe, supportive and stable family environment
- Allow a child to benefit from the nurturance that your home can provide
- Advocate for educational advancement and enrichment
- Enhance their social development through exposure to community resources
Benefits of Becoming a Foster Parent
- Make a significant difference in a child’s future
- Form life-long relationships with the children that you assist
- Receive on-going training and support
- Financial assistance, depending on child’s clinical needs.
Potential foster parents must complete training. Training schedules are based on the needs of potential parents and the time of year. You must attend some classes in person. Other classes may be completed online. The training schedule will be provided in advance so you can fit it into your schedule.
We will take the time to learn about your family’s background and what you hope to achieve through fostering a child. We also run background checks and conduct home studies.
