We invite you to an orientation!
During the orientation, we encourage you to ask as many questions as you would like. Once you decide that becoming a foster parent with Sierra Nevada Connections is right for you and your family, you will be given our application and will be guided in completing paperwork and all requirements.
We provide 40 hours of per-licensure training allowing you to gain valuable parenting skills, learn Sierra Nevada Connections’ policies and procedures, and gain a better understating of the children we serve. During this time you are able to get to know other families who are becoming licensed Sierra Nevada Connections foster parents allowing you to build connections and support groups.
The last step of the process is participating in a home study. This is where our agency really gets to know you, understand your background, and learn what children would thrive best in your home.
During the process of becoming a licensed foster home, Sierra Nevada Connections staff helps ensure that your home is in compliance and meets licensing standards.
