Foster a Child or Youth from Your School District
Be the way home, become a foster parent to a child or youth in your school community.
Did you know children and youth in foster care change schools more often than their peers?
Each placement move equals a six-month loss of academic progress.
We know that children and youth do better when they stay connected to their school community. You can make it more likely that children and youth in foster care continue in the same school and stay connected with friends, teachers, and staff. Sign up to foster today.
For school officials interested in helping recruit foster parents, please email our Caregiver Recruitment and Retention Team to access our School Recruitment Toolkit: DCYF social media graphics for download.
