RESPOND Virtual Information Session

One of the most powerful ways to serve your community is through fostering.Black/African American children across St. Louis need safe, loving, and culturally-affirming homes—and you could be the difference. RESPOND, a program of the Foster & Adoptive Care Coalition, recruits Black/African American foster parents. Join us for a free, virtual informational session on February 17, 6-7:30 p.m.

Presented By: Jenny Jones, Director of RESPOND and Family Development

What We’ll Discuss

Our recruiters will support you every step of your fostering journey, including:

• Guidance from the start: We’ll help you decide if fostering is right for you, answer all your questions, and walk you through qualifications—no pressure!
• Support through licensing and placement: We simplify the licensing process and support you when a child is placed in your home, providing essentials like clothing, diapers, and school supplies within 48 hours.
• Ongoing community and care: Connect with other foster parents in virtual support groups and receive personalized support from our team for two full years.
