Helping to spread awareness about foster care & adoption
The Adoption Ambassadors are comprised of staff and community members who are advocates for adoption.
Our staff ambassadors are happy to meet with you and others you know! We are looking for a diverse pool of individuals & families who may consider fostering, adopting, or volunteering and are open to learning more.
We recognize that foster care and adoption are not the right fit for everyone. You can still help by spreading the word, volunteering, and more!
We look forward to connecting with you to determine the best avenue for you and your network.
