York County Foster Parent Association

Reformed in 2007

Purpose:

• Provide education, training and support for foster parents enabling them to understand and meet the physical, psychological and emotional needs of the children in their care.
• Promote communication between foster parents and agency personnel, so each may better understand the others' role in the placement of foster children and the associated issues.
• Promote public relations so the general public better understands foster parenting and by doing so, provide current information and encourage more within our community to become York County foster parents.
• Continue to advocate for issues that are in the best interest of children
