Bridges’ Foster Parents are carefully selected and undergo an extensive application and screening process.  They are in continual training and enjoy a high level of support from the Agency. Foster Parents receive training commensurate with the needs of the child in their home.

Foster parenting is a calling of great challenge but also with tremendous opportunities for satisfaction and delight.  As a Bridges’ Foster Parent, you will be an integral member of a caring team focused on doing what is best for the child.  You will work alongside caseworkers, attorneys, therapists and school personnel, as well as Bridges’ staff and the natural parents, to provide stability and security for the child.  The Bridges’ model of foster care is designed to create a supportive network around the foster child and his or her family with the goal of returning the child to home.  Bridges’ Foster Parents become encouragers, mentors and teachers for children in care and their parents.
