May is National Foster Care Month
Engaging Youth. Building Supports. Strengthening Opportunities.
The Children’s Bureau’s National Foster Care Month campaign recognizes the important role that people from all parts of child welfare play in supporting children, youth, and families. This year’s theme highlights the need to create a child welfare system that authentically engages and supports young people who are preparing to leave foster care.
National Foster Care Month is an initiative of the Children’s Bureau. Each May, the community takes time to raise awareness of issues related to foster care and acknowledge the parents, family members, foster parents, child welfare and related professionals, mentors, policymakers, and other members of the community who help children and youth in foster care find permanent homes and connections.
