Requirements to become a foster parent
You must meet minimum requirements to provide foster care for children in Colorado. Foster parents for children and families must:
- Be 21 years of age or older
- Maintain sufficient income to support a family
- Have physical and mental capability to care for children and youth
- Pass a child abuse background and criminal background check
- Work with a treatment team and undergo future training
- Complete a Home Study
Prospective foster families can contact a Colorado child placement agency or your local Department of Human Services. Social workers in these child welfare agencies will provide information about Colorado's child welfare system, foster care, and the adoption process.
Social workers recommended that other adults and children in your home agree to provide long-term home care, too. If everyone is ready to welcome a new child, your local agency will help your home become an approved foster home.

Working here wasn't the best experience ( King St. location). Management, specially the school director Lori and the executive director Norma Aguilar, lacks of professionalism. Counselors, teachers, social workers and administrative staff are nice. Be aware of pay, vacations and holidays days; I ended referring them to Dept of Labor and Employment and won. Communication between managers and employees was nonexistent. I had Beth Humphrey as my sup and what can I say...at least she was more professional than the school director and the executive director.
Also, if you speak Spanish, and even if you are hired as bilingual staff, you won't be allowed to speak Spanish. Sadly, it was too late to report this part to the Department when I did the complaint.
Best wishes if you plan to work here.
