Why Choose Encourage?

At Encourage Foster Care we recruit, train and license foster parents. We walk alongside families every step of the way while connecting foster and foster-to-adopt families with strong support systems that will equip them with the physical, emotional and logistical help they need when opening their hearts and homes. We are intentional with the message of providing encouragement so that every foster parent and youth is successful in the purpose to which God is calling them.
