Foster Care
Basic Family Foster Care
Pathways licenses foster homes for children ages 0-17 and supports extended foster care for youth up to age 21. We provide extensive training and support to ensure foster families are ready and able to handle a range of situations. Fostering requires a high level of dedication, a willingness to work with our team, and a commitment to support a child on a daily basis when issues arise. The reward of helping a child is worth the work!
The safety and well-being of our children is of utmost importance, and our primary goal is to foster healing and growth in children placed in our care while working collaboratively to find the best, permanent home for the child.
