KINSHIP TO FOSTER CARE (OHIO)
What is Kinship to Foster Care?
Kinship to Foster Care is a way to empower kinship providers in Ohio to become NYAP foster parents with little-to-no training. NYAP provides mentoring, coaching and training to become a foster parent for those currently in kinship. Once licensed, parents then have access to all the benefits of being a NYAP foster parent as they continue to care for the youth in their home.
What are the benefits of becoming a foster parent?
As a foster parent, you are empowered with the unique ability to bring safety and peace to a child or youth who may feel broken. NYAP foster parents are equipped with the tools needed to continue to provide that safe and peaceful environment for the youth, including:
- Competitive monthly compensation to support the youth
- Continuous training with our professional team of social workers and psychologists
- 24/7 support through our quality Service Reception comprised of caring professionals
- Referral bonuses as you refer others to become licensed NYAP foster parents
- Involvement in a national community of like-minded NYAP foster parents
