Becoming a Foster Parent – Making a Lifetime of Difference

This Foster Care Awareness Month, join Wisconsin Community Services Treatment Foster Care (WCS TFC) and CHCollective for a meaningful community gathering designed to inspire, inform, and empower those curious about supporting youth in foster care.

Whether you’ve been considering becoming a foster parent, or you’re simply wondering how you might help without a long-term commitment, this event is for you.

There are many ways to say yes—and every step matters.

You’ll hear real stories from a foster parent and youth in care, learn about both full-time foster parenting and short-term respite care, and have a chance to connect with others who care deeply about making a difference in the lives of children and families.

• Hear real-life stories of impact.
• Learn about the process, supports, and resources available for both foster and respite care.
• Discover how even offering weekend care can make a meaningful difference.
• Meet the WCS TFC team and begin your licensing process on-site if you’re ready.
• Enjoy a welcoming space with a free boxed meal and opportunities for connection.

This is a no-pressure, informative event designed for individuals, couples, and families at any stage of their journey—from curious to committed. Whether you’re exploring how to foster, how to offer short-term respite, or how to support foster families in other ways—this event will give you the tools, inspiration, and resources you need.
