Make a Difference

Every part of West Virginia is in great need of foster parents.

Across the state, WV children need safe, stable homes where they can feel supported during a difficult time. Even a short-term placement can make a lasting difference in a child’s life.

Mission West Virginia will guide you through the process, from learning what fostering involves to getting connected, trained, and prepared to welcome a child into your home.
