ATTENTION FOSTER PARENTS:

Are you looking for extra support and guidance for your teen (ages 14–21)? Fostering Roots Foundation has a dedicated team of dependable, DHR-background-checked volunteers ready to mentor and empower your teenager.

At its heart, mentorship ensures that young people always have someone who cares about them, shows them they are not alone in facing daily challenges, and helps reinforce core values. By pairing teens with caring adult mentors, we help them build confidence, learn new skills, and grow into successful young adults.

If you’d like to connect your teen with one of our mentors, please email shannon.withrow@fosterroots.org or karen.allen@fosterroots.org. Teens do not need to be associated with DHR to participate in this program. FRF looks forward to supporting your family!

From hosting monthly meetings and organizing family-friendly events to supporting children entering foster care through The Den at DHR, there’s a place for everyone to contribute. Whether you’d like to help with a single event or take on a leadership role on our Board to help shape programs and activities for hundreds of families in Madison County, your time and talents can make a huge difference.
