Youth Villages provides free foster parent training, monthly reimbursements to help offset the costs of adding a child to your household and ongoing, 24-hour support.

To find out if being a foster parent is right for you, please attend one of our free orientation sessions. To become a foster parent, you must complete PATH (Parents as Tender Healders) training classes.

Youth Villages offers free orientation and training sessions at the Youth Villages office in Birmingham.

As a Youth Villages foster parent, you will change the lives of troubled young people in the care of the State of Alabama.

Foster children of all ages need love, guidance and safe homes as they receive help to overcome their traumatic pasts. That's why Youth Villages is looking for caring people like you who are willing to open their hearts and homes to our most vulnerable citizens.
