How We Help Support Foster Families
Fostering Our Future is committed to providing families who are called to foster with the tools, support, and education they need to provide a safe, nurturing, and loving home for children in crisis.
We work with local churches to recruit and train foster families, establish foster care support teams, provide annual parenting and family seminars, and host ministry events to encourage and better equip foster families to support the vulnerable children they care for.
Becoming a foster parent
Training
There is a critical need for licensed foster families who can support vulnerable children in need of placement. Fostering Our Future has created a series of training courses for families, community partners, volunteers, and child welfare professionals to address that gap by providing Biblically-informed and family-centered training content.
In-Service Training & Certification
Fostering Our Future Academy (FOFA) is a competency-based professional in-service training program for foster families and child welfare professionals.
For foster families
We Provide Wrap-Around Support Systems
We provide foster parent pre-licensing training, as well as continuing education modules that qualify for annual foster home licensing renewal.
Foster children desperately need adults who will speak up and speak out on their behalf; to give them a voice. We teach foster parents how to advocate for the best interests of the children in their care as they navigate Florida's dependency system.
Events & Activities
We provide parenting and family seminars and seasonal celebrations to encourage and uplift foster families and the children they support.
Mentoring
FOF trains family support volunteers to help provide extra help to foster families in a variety of areas including mentoring.
Supplies
We work with community organizations, volunteers, and individual donors to provide supplies to foster children in need.
Support Services
Not sure what resources are available to you as a foster parent? We can help connect you with additional support services in your area.
Foster Family Testimonials
We felt so defeated in the mainstream classes and support systems until we found Fostering Our Future, Julie, Bill, and their team. The classes brought real-life situations and principles, tangible advice, and allowed us to work at our pace with weekly gatherings to connect, share, review, ask questions, and have meaningful discussions.
The Christian-based classes with Fostering Our Future offer an enriching experience for individuals interested in becoming foster parents. Having previously fostered for fifteen years as well as co-training traditional MAPP/Pride classes, Fostering Our Future is truly a remarkable approach.
