Why Become a Foster Parent? You Can Help a Child in Need
As a foster parent, you can give a child in need a safe, loving home.
Our Mentor foster parents all have something in common – they want to help kids in need. Being a foster parent does more than give someone a home. It changes lives. Yours and the children you care for.
If you’re wondering if fostering is right for you, here are a few of the best reasons to get started.
- There’s a child who needs you. Nearly 424,000 children in the United States are in foster care. That’s 424,000 babies, children, and teens looking for a loving place to call home.
- Change starts with one. One child, one teen, one life you can make better. One Mentor foster parent, there to help them through a hard time. It will make all the difference for them – for the rest of their life. Your love and encouragement are just what they need to live the joyful life they deserve.
- There’s nothing more rewarding. As a Mentor, you can watch a child or teen grow after a difficult start in life. You’ll be there for the little moments and the big ones. From learning to ride a bike to learning how to drive a car, from first jobs to applying to college, there’s nothing a child can’t accomplish with your love and support.
- You’ve got our support each step of the way. Fostering isn’t easy. That’s why we provide an entire team of experienced people to help. We’re here to help make sure you and the child in your care have the support you need. Together, we’ll celebrate them as the unique, deserving kid they are.
