Foster Care open house

Have you ever thought about becoming a licensed foster family? Please attend this informational open house where we will discuss the extreme need for families to care for teenagers in state care. Most people think that caring for a young child is more rewarding but in fact caring for an older child can be even more so. Children during their teen years are extremely vulnerable and are learning how to become successful adults. It is so critical for them to have positive role models in their lives during this time who can help them reach their potential. Teaching them life lessons on relationships, managing money, learning to drive, choosing a college and many others. Be a support system for them into adult hood so that they have someone consistent that they can trust and rely on. If you think you would like to learn more about this process please attend our open house, or call 203-394-8506 for other available dates.
