May is National Foster Care Month
All children deserve and benefit from enduring, positive relationships with caring adults. The same is true for the 513,000 American youth in foster care. These young people have a special need to make connections with nurturing adults because their own families are in crisis. Many require secure, stable places to call home until they can either safely reunite with their parent or establish other lifelong family relationships.
You Can change a lifetime
Across the country, people just like you are helping these children build brighter futures by serving as foster parents, relative caregivers, mentors, advocates, social workers, and volunteers. No matter how much time you have to give, there is something you can do to make a child’s life story a good one.
