Therapeutic Foster Care works toward helping kids who have survived abuse and neglect. We provide free training, a very generous stipend, and 24 hour staff support to our foster families. You provide a safe home and environment in which the foster child begins to heal and grow. The age range for the foster children is 6-17.
We also have a great need for Bilingual Foster Parents! We work with refugee and immigrant youth in foster care. Provide a home away from home as they transition to a new country. Ever thought of sponsoring a relative or hosting an exchange student? If you are fluent in Spanish or another language this could be a great alternative. The age range for the kids is 1-17. These kids await the processing of their immigration status.
What sets Friends of Youth apart is the family atmosphere, a full range of innovative programs and the ability to work with the foster parents as a team supporting and encouraging one other. We set up the environment for success for all involved. Too often good people are misled or allowed to burn out, we work to equip and enliven our foster families.
We desire foster homes throughout King County. A good Foster family can give Hope and Change to a child who has survived despite the odds. The foster kids and parents are provided a case manager, treatment aide and a plan for success. These young people have had a rough start in life, you can help restore their future!

Harm Reduction starts where the client is, works from the principles of acceptance and empowerment, and moves people in the direction of better health and responsibility.

About IGD
The Initiative for Global Development (IGD) is a national alliance of business leaders that champions effective solutions to global poverty. Global poverty is at the root of many of the world’s greatest challenges and IGD believes that dramatically reducing it is one of the most effective steps we can take in creating a better future. Addressing the inequities of people living in poverty is a critical factor in ensuring the future prosperity and security of us all.
