Steps To Becoming A Foster Parent

In order to become a foster parent you must first attend a volunteer/foster orientation.

Orientations are on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings at 5:30pm. The orientation is about 45 minutes. Please be on time, because we strive to start on time.

If you rent and/or have roommates, please have the conversation about fostering with them to ensure that everyone wants to partake in this adventure.
