Ways to Serve
Fostering the Family exists to work with the church and volunteers to create one of 3 P’s of Possibility:
Become a PROACTIVE Community
Do you have a desire to pray for children and families in your community?
Fostering the Family believes prayer is powerful! If you have a few minutes a day to spend in prayer for vulnerable children, foster and adoptive families, child welfare employees, volunteers, churches, healthcare workers, and the sick and struggling in our community, it makes a BIG difference.
Do you have the capacity to give to our mission? Whether it is a one time gift, corporate sponsorship, trust or will gift, or joining our Family Circle, there is a place for YOU to bring transformation. Would you like to join our mission and become a transformational giver to our vision?
Every time Fostering the Family partners with a church to raise up a foster family with a Care Community, more safe, loving, and long-term homes become available for children in need.
When you give, your donation provides the resources we need to continue helping vulnerable children in our communities.
Become a PROGRESSIVE Community
Joining the Portal will revolutionize your involvement in the child welfare system by empowering you to impact your community!
Here’s how the Connecting SC Portal works:
As a volunteer, you become part of a network organized by zip code throughout the state. Volunteers can view and search for opportunities they have the skills, interest, and availability to meet. After meeting a need, you have the opportunity to give a testimonial about your experience as an encouragement to others. We are better together!

HOW do you begin this process? Glad you asked!
The first step is to attend a virtual Advocate Clinic. Then, you’ll be ready to begin building a sustainable Family Advocacy Ministry in your church or community. Choose the date that works best for you and begin your pioneering adventure!
(Don’t let costs stop you – scholarships are available, so let us know if you need financial assistance!)
