It’s a great training.

You are a kin home and want to become an unrestricted foster parent (you can take more than just your family)

Hi all,

Tim and Kristen from DCF Adolescent Services Unit have listed their college visits below.  If you have a foster youth in one of these colleges (or if they are in a college nearby they can attend as well), please have them visit so they can assure their school accounts are up to date and to make sure they are utilizing all the supports they are eligible for.

Thank you,

Jen
