Benefits
The most important resource the Network can offer foster parents is ongoing
support for the work they do. When you call the Network, you get your
phone call answered. If you must leave a message, we will return your
phone call promptly. If there is a crisis, someone will work through it
with you. If you need on site assistance, you get it.

- Training and education opportunities
- Child care for trainings
- Transportation for some youth to and from on-site schools
