Orientation and PATH Training Schedule

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.

To find out if being a foster parent is right for you, please attend a free orientation session. To become a certified foster parent, you must complete PATH (Parents as Tender Healers) training classes.

Both orientation and training classes are offered at the Youth Villages office in Johnson City.

For more information about becoming a foster parent or to find out orientation and training dates, call Sumer Jackson at (423) 283-6527 or e-mail her at sumer.jackson@youthvillages.org 

Foster Parent Appreciation!

At Youth Villages, we love and appreciate our foster parents. We know the commitment they make to our young people cannot be compared to any other commitment. From time to time, we hold foster care celebrations to honor our foster parents. Recently, we held an appreciaton picnic to celebrate our foster parents and thank them for their dedication to our young people. The celebration was all about our foster parents and kids and, of course, food, fun and laughter.
