Every May the National Foster Care Awareness Month campaign works to raise awareness about the needs of children and youth in foster care and encourages people to get involved. Whether you have an interest in becoming a foster parent, or would like to partner with a program by serving as a guest speaker, respite provider, community resource or Job Coach, there are so many ways to help!
