About this Event

Back-to-School Foster Parent Info Sessions

New School Year. New Routines. New Ways to Make a Difference.

As kids sharpen pencils and stuff their backpacks, many children in foster care are still waiting for one more thing: a safe and loving home to return to after school.

This back-to-school season, join us for a Foster Parent Information Session to learn how you can be part of a child’s school-year success — by becoming a foster parent, respite caregiver, or support system.
