Foster Caregiving
Become a Foster Caregiver
There is always a need for more foster homes. Foster Caregivers provide stability and a caring home for children in the care of the CFSGE. They work as part of a team, have a genuine interest in children and a sense of community responsibility.
They may provide care for just a few days, a week, several months, or possibly years.
Foster Caregivers can be single, married, common law, or in a same-sex relationship. They come from a wide variety of diverse ethnic, spiritual, religious, and cultural backgrounds. They are of all different ages and have varying levels of experience working with children. In Ontario, individuals must be 18 years of age to apply to become foster caregivers.
We provide initial orientation and ongoing training, regular visits and support, access to other therapeutic services a child may require, and daily non-taxable reimbursement for the child’s/youth’s living expenses and supplementary needs.
