National Youth Advocate Program (NYAP) will guide and support you as you embark on your journey to become a foster parent. From the moment you submit your application, throughout your licensing process and with each youth you welcome into your home, NYAP will walk alongside you.

We provide 24/7 phone and in-person support, wrap around services, case management and advocacy to ensure foster parents are true partners in creating nurturing, safe and stable homes within which traumatized youth are able to heal.

NYAP has provided cost effective, community based services and support to children, youth and families since 1978. We offer flexible, creative, outcome-based solutions to meet the unique needs of the communities we serve and the individual needs of the youth and families involved in our programs and services.

Requirements to become a foster parent

You'll still have support and guidance when you receive a foster placement. Kentucky has continued training and can connect new foster parents with experienced families through the Foster Parent Mentor Program.

Having access to an experienced foster family is invaluable. You'll be able to connect with other adults who have advice and can provide coaching to make your parenting journey easier.

Your local child-placing agency is one of your best sources of information and foster parenting services.

Nonprofit child welfare organizations approved by the state recruit resource parents, provide resources, and offer training and general support. When you attend the informational orientation and parent training, you'll receive books and resources that tell you more about the many available foster parent support groups.
