Many of you have requested resource gatherings where you can share with others about what you do, hear about other organizations, and learn how you can work together to meet the needs of the foster system and, more importantly, provide a better experience for the care givers and the children in their care. Well, Foster Coalition is answering your request. Foster Coalition will be conducting such a gathering that we are calling C3 – Collaborate, Cultivate, Celebrate.

 

  1. We will be providing a time for you share what you do with other organizational leaders and learn what others do.

  2. Have a discussion to identify problems that need to be corrected.

  3. Recommend solutions to the problems.
