Today, the organization continues that mission by connecting foster, kinship, and adoptive families with tangible support, a large community network, advocacy and education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">CSFPA is led by Executive Director, Steffany Lyddon, alongside a dedicated board of directors and volunteers throughout the state. Over the past several years, the organization has expanded its programming to focus not only on resources, but also caregiver connection, community collaboration, and elevating caregiver voices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The organization\u2019s largest initiative has been statewide advocacy. CSFPA recently hosted its first Foster Parent Summit, bringing foster and kinship caregivers together for intentional conversations around the realities of caregiving, barriers families face, and ways to strengthen support systems across Colorado. The summit focused on collaboration, education and actionable steps to better support children and caregivers involved in foster care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One attendee shared, \u201cI\u2019m finally in the right room for my voice to be heard,\u201d reflecting the heart behind the summit and the importance in creating spaces where caregivers feel valued in conversations impacting the system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition to this, CSFPA hosted its first annual appreciation event at the Denver Children\u2019s Museum for foster, adoptive, and kinship families. This gathering brought together local child welfare partners to provide families with access to services, activities for children, meals, giveaways, and direct support while celebrating the vital role caregivers play in the lives of children and youth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">CSFPA continues to provide direct support to families through member benefits, community partnerships, and one-on-one assistance during times of need. Families are provided with resources including school supplies, meals, birthday gifts, holiday support, and emergency needs during difficult seasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Member families receive access to caregiver resources, community events, and partnerships such as discounted YMCA memberships and camps across Colorado.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Looking ahead, CSFPA plans to continue expanding opportunities to amplify foster parent voices, host Kid\u2019s Night Out events, and strengthen statewide partnerships. The organization is focused on building stronger relationships with legislators and community leaders to further advocate for foster and kinship families across Colorado.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOur goal is to ensure caregivers feel seen, supported, and connected,\u201d shared Executive Director, Steffany Lyddon, \u201cWhen foster, kinship, and adoptive families have strong community support, children thrive.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Anyone involved in the child welfare system who is interested in learning more about CSFPA
