Foster Opportunities

All our opportunities are open to Fosters (those with experience in out-of-home placement, regardless of how they exited foster care) who currently live in MN. Any age limits are listed next to upcoming events. Sign up for the newsletter for invitations to upcoming events.

Foster Get Together and Community Threads and Treasures!

🔹 September 24th

🔹 4:30-5:30 pm: Hybrid dinner and meet and greet with new executive director!

🔹 5:30-7 pm: In-person Community Threads and Treasures

🔹 Location: Zoom or Equaspace

🔹 Registration deadline: September 19th

This is a hybrid community connection from 4:30-5:30 pm while we share dinner and conversation. At 5:30, we’ll open up Community Threads and Treasures, and those on zoom can have some additional chat time with our new executive director before they join in the clothing adventures. 

Community Threads and Treasures is an opportunity for Fosters to gather free clothing and everyday essentials! There’s no age limit—this is for Fosters of all ages and their children, too. We’ve got baby and kid clothes, shoes, strollers and other baby items, adult clothing, and a handful of other household items. This is round two of this event, and we’re continuing to test out what works, see what’s needed, and figure out how we can make something like this a regular, long-term offering for our community. Make sure you indicate your priority needs in your registration: we can’t promise to have everything, but your input will help us stock the Community Threads & Treasures Closet.

For those joining in-person, we will have travel support (up to $50) and childcare for potty-trained children over 18 months. For those joining virtually, we’ll connect you with a dinner gift card!

Help Shape the Soundtrack for MN Fosters!

Our MN Promise committee is crowdsourcing TWO PLAYLISTS from MN Fosters of all ages! Help us gather the best songs to represent MN Promise and to support Fosters still in care. Fosters can submit up to three entries per person and be entered into a gift card drawing.

🔹Submit your empowering anthems for the MN Promise playlist!
