Connecting volunteers to opportunities, parents to resources, and parents to parents.

	If you have an interest in foster care, give us a call! We would love to talk with you!

Volunteers to opportunities:

Within the Las Vegas foster care system there are an abundance of opportunities which Foster Connect would like to match with the abundance of positive role models in churches throughout the city. As Christians we have the responsibility to care for the needs of society, and we would like to raise awareness regarding this particular need and challenge Christians to respond. "Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world." (James 1:27)

Parents to resources:

Being a foster parent brings many challenges and new needs into a family. Foster Connect will provide support to Christian foster families, enabling them to do their ministry as foster parents even better. This includes practical support, but also emotional and spiritual support.

Parents to parents:

Experienced foster parents have much to offer. Thus, we would like to match them with the less experienced foster parents so that they can benefit from their knowledge. We will network foster families together so that they never feel alone, and through friendships, can have their own support base. In addition, to further promote healthy families in Las Vegas, we will encourage Christian foster families to connect with their foster child\'s biological parents in a meaningful way.
