SCFPA Membership

	Membership Application Shasta County Foster Parent Association Chapter 20
Why join the Shasta County Foster Parent Association? You, as a licensed Foster Parent, already get free training, access to all support groups and invitations to the various family fun events offered throughout the year. The Foster Children’s Christmas Party and the “Dreams” Account are just two of the many programs sponsored in full or in part by the SCFPA . What you don’t often see are the many hours involved in the planning, organizing, and yes, the funding of all the behind the scenes action. Not only the does the SCFPA provide support of these many activities, we most importantly provide a voice for Shasta County Foster parents and the children in their care, advocating for the concerns and challenges that face our families. In supporting your local Assoc., you are also supporting the Calif. State Foster Parent Assoc. They continue to strive for legislation to better provide for our most vulnerable children. Through your supportive efforts, we can make a better life for abused and neglected children and their foster families. To join, fill out the application and send it to the address shown. Why are Foster parents so important? Foster parents provide a temporary, safe home for children in crisis. They are part of the child's support, treatment, and care programs. They are partners of the child's social worker, attorney, teachers, and doctors. Being a foster parent is not a passive act of opening one's home and providing food, clothing, and shelter. It is a proactive statement of nurturing, advocacy, and love.
