Our Impact

Foster Family Testimonials

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.

-- The Ludwig Family

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 Griffith Family

Fusce molestie libero at rutrum elementum. Donec ut porttitor tellus. Donec luctus lobortis tortor, porta tincidunt nisl tincidunt at. Vestibulum id turpis non dui convallis aliquet et vitae ante. Fusce molestie libero at rutrum elementum. Donec ut porttitor tellus. Donec luctus lobortis tortor, porta tincidunt nisl tincidunt at.

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.

1. Foundations Pre-Service Training
  
  We provide a state-approved, pre-licensing training program required for families to become licensed foster parents in the state of Florida.
2. 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.
3. Volunteer Training
  
  We provide volunteer training for churches and organizations that sponsor foster families to help provide wrap-around support teams for those who foster.
