Foster Parenting
We help hopeful foster families navigate the licensing process, train them to do excellent foster care, facilitate placement of children who fit their family, and support them while they change lives.
Foster Parent Interest Meetings
FosterClass is an accelerated course for prospective foster parents compiled by Skookum Kids. Once you complete this roughly 24 hour training, you will receive a certificate issued by us. FosterClass allows you to move through the course at your own pace. Our team is here to help and support along the way! Check it out below.

Skookum Mentors
Skookum Mentors is a program where foster children are paired with a safe adult for one-on-one mentoring. Mentors are trained and background checked case aides who are equipped to provide social, academic and recreational support for your child and your family.
If you're interested in having your child mentored, please download the mentor request form below. Mentorship is completely free to foster parents, and does not require a social worker referral.
