1- Find and recruit stable, willing individuals and families who will nurture and guide children in need. 2- Educate prospective foster families with current parenting strategies and support materials, and provide an honest picture of foster parenting. 3- Increase the retention rate of foster families by serving as a resource for information and counseling, coordinating relief care, and increasing other volunteer activities in the community to support foster families. Utahns have done many things to strengthen our protection for children who experience abuse and neglect. Providing enough caring and loving homes through foster families is one area where we all can and need to do much more.
Children have a right to grow and develop in strong, safe Utah homes.
