BECOME A FOSTER PARENT
Foster care is a temporary arrangement when adolescents need to be placed in a safe place until they are able to return to their biological family or live on their own independently. The length of time could range from a few days to up to 7 months. Foster parenting is an opportunity to make a difference in a youth’s life during a time of crisis, when their parents or guardians are unable, unfit or unwilling to care for the youth.
WE'LL SUPPORT YOU THROUGH THIS JOURNEY Each family and child is assigned a YOS team leader or case manager who is responsible for providing weekly support to each family. Supportive services include initial and ongoing training, 24/7 on-call assistance, and monthly support meetings provided by YOS, as your licensing agency.
Foster parents are able to provide support and guidance for the duration of the teen’s stay in their home. Foster parents are asked to complete an application and background check, complete a home assessment and attend training. Foster families must demonstrate financial and emotional stability, responsibility and a willingness to work with YOS as we supervise your placement.
