Transform a Life: Become a Foster Parent Today

The Bay Area is known for its commitment to diversity and social justice, yet many foster teens—especially youth of color and LGBTQ+ teens—are still searching for safe, loving homes. As a foster parent (aka resource parent), you can provide the stability and acceptance these young people need, making a profound and lasting impact on their lives.

Fostering is a transformative journey for both the teen and the foster parent. At Alternative Family Services (AFS), we support you every step of the way, ensuring you have the resources and guidance needed to create a nurturing environment. No matter your background, your unique perspective can make a difference in shaping a teen’s future.
