Dear Foster Parent
You can impact children and families
in foster care beyond your home.
We’re here to help.
You understand the difference support makes in your life as you show up for your kids. The same is true for your child’s caseworker.
Caseworkers are burdened by heavy caseloads and limited resources and are leaving their roles after an average of only 2.5 years, often abruptly due to burnout.
When our workers leave, it has a devastating impact on children. It contributes to increased time in foster care, higher risk of placement disruptions, and triggers feelings of being abandoned, unwanted, and unloved. The entire foster care community suffers.
Reach children
and families in your community
by supporting caseworkers.
Well supported case workers will more effectively serve children.
Church leaders want to be involved in caring for the vulnerable in their communities, but they aren’t always sure where to start. They need a faithful guide to show them the path to meaningful service, someone who can
connect them.
A simple connection is needed between your church and foster care caseworkers.
Caseworkers need someone in their corner, a trusted advocate to listen, learn, and walk alongside them as they care for children and families.
Do you have a friend who shares they’d love to be involved in foster care but isn’t sure that being a foster parent is the right fit? At The Forgotten Initiative, we train passionate volunteers on how to connect their church and foster care agency so that the whole foster care community is better supported.
Identify a supportive friend to connect your church to a foster care agency.
Our application to receive training & become a TFI Advocate are open now through November 30!
Just as we’ve walked with foster parents for the past 13 years, we also have been supporting volunteers to connect their church and agency.
