Foster parents are needed in every community so that children can remain close to what is familiar to them, especially their families and schools. Foster care is a safe place that gives a child and his or her family an opportunity to resolve conflicts or disruptions and learn healthy skills so the child can safely return home. Foster parents provide a safe and caring environment, and help ensure that a child continues to receive the education, medical care and support they need to thrive. They also play an important role in helping children recover from the trauma and/or neglect they have experienced. More than half of children who enter foster care eventually safely reunite with their families. Learn more about foster care and how to become a foster parent on our website.
