Committed to the Safety, Stability & Success of Youth & Families
Join us in welcoming Emily to our foster care team! We asked Emily what she looks forward to about working with your youth and she said, "I have worked in the mental health field for 4 years, both with children and adults. This past year I was working in the Juvenile Detention Center doing screenings on kids who were arrested, and it was heartbreaking to see how many kids ended up in the legal system because they did not have the love and support they need at home. I am looking forward to being able to see how their lives change when they have structure and a loving family."![]()

In her free time Emily likes to read, loves plants and gardening and play video games.
This is some really awesome news!! One of our youth was recently crowned Homecoming Queen. What an amazing moment and memory for her. 🙂

Dee is a Central State graduate and working on her Master's at WSU. In her free time she enjoys interior decorating and couponing. Her fave ice cream flavor is cookie dough! Welcome to CHOICES!
When working with our kids to meet goals we often identify a reward that means something to them. When they work towards something they pic themselves the results are greater! Recently one of our younger kids met her goal and received a baby doll with "real hair" that she could play with! She was so excited, and she certainly earned it!
One of our foster youth taught himself how to ride a bike! He had a few falls, but remained dedicated to his goal! 🙂
