About
For over 23 years, we have provided family-based foster care for children and youth in our communities through our Village model. This includes support to caregivers, youth, and kids through programs, services, and wraparound care.
We believe in keeping siblings together and in family strengthening, creating a sense of community and belonging, and in educating and empowering children to become contributing members of society.
Our Vision – What we want for children
Every child belongs to a family and grows with love, respect, and security.
Our Mission – What we do
We empower children, youth and families in need to grow into caring, self-reliant people from the foundation of our core village.
Our Values – What keeps us strong
Courage: We take action
Commitment: We keep our promises
Trust: We believe in each other
Accountability: We are reliable partners
