TEENAGE FOSTER CARE
<Back to Programs

Teenage Foster Care aims to accommodate young people (male and female 12-18 years) in community homes either with single people, couples or families.

  • We aim not only to provide young people with practical needs, housing and food but also to have a sense of family.
  • The goals are to develop relationship with the young people and through that to teach them independent living skills, support them personally and encourage them spiritually, sharing God's love with them.
  • We receive referrals from various sources including Department of Human Services (State Department) and the community.
  • Once a young person is considered appropriate for a placement the two parties meet and the young person moves in. Trained YFC workers offer support to the young person and the carer throughout their tenancy.
