Native Foster Homes Needed

According to the State of Alaska Office of Childrens Services, there are nearly 2,000 Alaska children not living at home because of abuse or neglect. Sixty percent of these children are Alaska Native. If a child cannot stay at home because it is not safe, it is best if they can be with relatives or other Alaska Native families. These children need to learn Native traditions, values and culture. If you are interested in becoming an Alaska Native foster parent or to find out how else you can help, contact the Alaska Foster Parent Training Center at (800) 478-7307.
