If you are interested in learning more about becoming a foster parent, please attend a Foster Care Orientation Class. To become a certified foster parent, you must take PATH (Parents as Tender Healers) training classes.

Youth Villages foster parents receive free training, monthly reimbursements to help offset the costs of adding a child to their household and ongoing support by trained counselors. For more information about becoming a foster parent, attending orientation or registering for training classes, please contact Lydia Nicks at (731) 660-6774.
