  • Participate in recruitment events for potential foster families.
  • Support the oversight of foster parent support activities, including arranging for rooms, supplies, and announcements for all support and training groups, coordinating foster parent resource library, assisting with organization of foster parent recognition and retention activities.
  • Conduct home visits for initial licensure and licensure renewal, as needed.
