Foster / Adoptive Care at Boys & Girls Village

Show them that they matter. Become a foster parent.

Boys & Girls Village Therapeutic Foster Care (TFC) program matches qualified foster parents with children 6 to 17 years old who are in the custody of the Connecticut Department of Children and Families.
 
Some of these children have been abused or neglected.  Others are working to overcome learning, behavioral or emotional problems. But all are in desperate need of the comfort, love, safety and
nurturing that only a dedicated and supportive therapeutic foster family can provide.
 
Boys & Girls Village’s experienced Therapeutic Foster Care staff provides foster parents with:

• Training needed to become a state-licensed  foster parent 
• Ongoing, in-home support, including access to Boys & Girls Village's FAST Team
• 24/7 emergency support
• Paid respite breaks
• Access to special recreation, social and parent education services
• Referrals to community services
• Continuing, post-placement education
• Adoption services, when possible and desired
• A network of caring, experienced professionals dedicated to ensuring success for the Boys & Girls Village children and families

Foster parents also receive a tax-free, monthly stipend for food, clothing, childcare and other necessities. The amount is based on the level of care, age and needs of each child. Connecticut’s Department of Children & Families provides healthcare coverage.
