Foster Parents
There is always an intense need for foster parents in Kentucky, and Bellewood warmly welcomes individuals who want to offer our children a safe home and a better life.
The ideal foster parent is someone who has a desire to work with youth who have been abused or neglected. This person must be an intensely caring individual who can communicate efficiently, work in partnership with others and effectively manage children. Parents must be at least 21 years old, submit to criminal background checks and complete 40 hours of training.
Benefits of being a Bellewood foster parent include:
- up to $1,600 tax-free compensation monthly
- 24/7 support
- liability insurance
- free, specialized training
- CPR/First Aid Training
