We’re In This Together

Boys & Girls Aid values and supports our foster families. Our dedicated, professional staff partner closely with our foster parents and the youth to create a tight-knit community with a common goal: to provide a stable, safe living situation for children. We are there to assist our foster parents from the time they apply, through the certification and placement process, and beyond. We offer:

  • Counselors and staff available at all times
  • Case managers with small case loads
  • Continued training, education and support for foster parents
  • Monthly meetings to gather and share experiences with other foster parents
  • Annual Foster Parent Appreciation Party and other events
  • Paid respite to give foster parents needed breaks

To us, families do not just give shelter to children. Foster parents are partners in a vital team to help children and families in our community.
