National Youth Advocate Program (NYAP)’s Post

Do you know teachers and school personnel can be considered as kinship homes for youth in foster care? Because you have a pre-existing relationship, you may be considered for a youth at your school who is needing a foster home. Additionally, in many states, you can become foster licensed to receive funds to support the youth in your care. Educators have the skills and qualities needed to be successful foster parents. Many foster parent trainings may also qualify for continuing education requirements. NYAP conducts convenient foster parent trainings and will meet your unique scheduling needs. We are currently licensing foster homes in Ohio, Indiana, Florida, Georgia, West Virginia, South Carolina, Louisiana, Kentucky, Illinois, Texas, Colorado, and Nevada.

This week is a great time to take your children to visit a park that honors the fortitude and determination of so many who did not back down from ensuring the civil and human rights that were signed into law on this day in 1964. Give your children the gift of play and learning!

Our dedicated employees provide overall care, guidance, encouragement, education, and medical attention for children who are unaccompanied. Our team also ensures the licensure of our foster families remains strong as they care for vulnerable children. From high school diplomas to graduate-level positions, we need all education and experience levels. Ideal candidates would be bilingual, but all applicants will be considered.

Happy Juneteenth! "On June 19, 1865, Union troops arrived in Galveston, Texas with the news that the more than 250,000 enslaved Black people in the state were free. This day came to be known as Juneteenth, now officially a federal holiday. Juneteenth is a time to celebrate, gather as a family, reflect on the past and look to the future."

PRIDE is an annual celebration of the LGBTQ+ community, promoting respect, inclusion, and dignity for all. In a youth and family care organization like NYAP, celebrating PRIDE is important because it sends a powerful message of acceptance, love, and support to LGBTQ+ youth. It creates a safe and supportive environment where they can thrive and be proud of who they are. By celebrating PRIDE, NYAP fosters a sense of belonging, alleviates feelings of isolation, and builds a strong support network. It also educates team members and youth about LGBTQ+ issues, ensuring culturally competent care and promoting understanding and empathy. By fostering this positive development with the young individuals in care, we can contribute to a higher quality of life and acceptance within all communities.
