BECOME A YMCARESOURCE PARENT

Many children and teens need good homes and families

to love & care for them!

Foster care is no longer about families composed of a mother and father but includes single, gay and lesbian families as well.

What is a Resource Family?

Resource families are families who provide a stable, safe and loving environment for a child when his/her own family is unable to do so.  A resource family may be a relative, a foster family, or an adoptive family.

Let the Plainfield Area YMCA guide you and your family through the process of becoming a licensed Resource Family. For most the process will take only 90 days.

The YMCA will help to provide supportive services while a child resides in your home. During the time a child is placed in your home, you will receive financial assistance, a clothing allowance, health coverage for that child and childcare for those resource families who are employed or in school.
