Southwest Indiana Foster Care Team

We are a working collaborative of four distinct nonprofits with separate governing boards, missions, and objectives, but we all share a passion for serving kids and families in Indiana’s foster care system. We work together on projects that leverage our respective strengths and resources to improve outcomes for Indiana’s children and youth.
