Palm Beach County Teachers help to build the future of our community. Your role as an educator is vital in leading foster youth to a successful future. Thank you! You've seen it all and know the value a family can have on a child. Could you help us find foster families for the kids you care about so much? Below are links to resources to reach prospective Foster Parents, Adoptive Parents, Guardian ad Litem Volunteer Child Adovcates, and Mentors to help find more homes, advocates, and mentors.
