Episode notes
Did you know that half of foster parents quit within the first year?
Katie Welch is trying to change that reality in Kansas City through Foster Light - a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting foster families.
In this episode, you’ll hear:
- Why Katie started Foster Light
- The importance of “wraparound services” for foster families
- Staggering statistics on foster youth
- Easy ways for the community to be part of the solution
Katie encourages us that making a difference in foster care takes a community, and everyone can play a part.
