"My team is family. They’re like aunts and uncles. They have helped me and the kids SO much. I don’t think I could have done this without them."
– Naomi Camacho, foster parent
Fostering Hope
WHAT WE DO
More than 600 children per month reside in foster care in El Paso
County. We help these foster children by developing and providing
volunteer teams devoted to supporting these foster families.
Our teams provide assistance to the foster parents and care for
the children in ways that provide stability, enrich their family
environment and connect the kids to the community.
WHY WE’RE GREAT!
Volunteer teams become an extended family. They ease the stress
on the foster parents and nurture trust and belonging in the foster
children. This results in more committed foster parents and reduces
trauma on foster children. We also improve the odds for children
aging out of our Foster Care system by providing additional
guidance, mentoring and links to the community that enable them
to become productive citizens.
