Foster Families
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.
We Provide Wrap-Around Support Systems
-
Training
We provide foster parent pre-licensing training, as well as continuing education modules that qualify for annual foster home licensing renewal. -

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

Where To Start
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.
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.
