AGAPE of NC exists to provide professional social services as a compassionate Christian outreach to children and families in need in order to strengthen families.
Foster Care provides children with a temporary safe living environment. It is a system in which minor children are placed either with a relative or close family friend, in a group home, residential facility, or in the care of a child-placing agency-licensed foster family as a substitute for a child’s unsuitable living situation.
AGAPE recruits, trains, and licenses compassionate, Christian, loving, and nurturing foster families. AGAPE offers our foster families 24/7 support, initial and ongoing training, and financial reimbursement for various special needs unique to the child(ren) and/or family.

Requirements to become a foster parent
The state requires that foster parents get licensed through their local Department of Social Services or a licensed private agency. These sources will be your best form of support. Through them, you'll receive training and have a point of contact for emergencies.
If you ever have questions, reach out to your case manager. They're trained to assist foster families and the children in their care.
The Foster Family Alliance of North Carolina is a statewide association that recruits new parents, provides training, and offers support. You can find training and webinars online. You can also read parenting tips, find your region, and more.
The National Foster Parent Association is a non-profit that provides training and education. Caregivers can also find free online training through the NFPA.
The NC Division of Social Services (NC DSS) is the agency in charge of overseeing the state's child welfare system. NC Kids assists new foster parents with the early stages of the process. You can find children awaiting adoption and access foster care and adoption support services.
It also helps to form connections with other foster families, especially those with years of experience. You may have questions or need advice from them. It can make you feel like you have someone on your side through your journey.
