Changing the way we care for families
Families who are going through a hard time and potentially at risk of losing their children to foster care
Families who are raising a family member's child in foster care
Families with a desire to pursue the training and licensing to become a foster family
Individuals who want to support those who foster
Organizations and churches who help families in need by amplifying their impact and increasing their quality of care
There are 22,000+ foster children in the state of Florida
There are over 5,400 children in out-of-home care in Central Florida
2/3 of children in foster care change families, schools, and/or communities 7 or more times
The foster care system only has availablility at any given time for 20% of the children who need a home
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.
We provide a state-approved, pre-licensing training program required for families to become licensed foster parents in the state of Florida.
Fostering Our Future Academy (FOFA) is a competency-based professional in-service training program for foster families and child welfare professionals.
We provide volunteer training for churches and organizations that sponsor foster families to help provide wrap-around support teams for those who foster.
Thank you to our generous donors and partners for their ongoing support of our mission to improve the lives of Florida’s foster children and help families in need find hope and a path to stability.
