is a private child placing agency founded by a group of dedicated
individuals in 2005. Together, they possess over 40 years of direct
care experience with at-risk youth and have dedicated their lives
to helping this population find a purpose and become successful
adults. Mission: To provide safe, nurturing environments for displaced youth, in order to enrich their life and to reach their potential We Care provides foster care to children ages 0-17 as well as to children who choose to stay in foster care past their 18th birthday. This is provided through the recruiting, training and support of foster parents who open their home to children in need of substitute care. Our programs are as follows: Therapeutic Foster Care Foster care for children who suffer from the effects of emotional setbacks due to sexual and/or physical abuse, as well as other types of trauma that exceed supports available in a traditional foster home.
