Is your organization interested in joining the care communities pilot?

Utah’s Care Communities program surrounds foster families with local support through Care Teams made up of 8-10 individuals or families. This consistent connection improves outcomes for children in care and empowers foster families to continue fostering. 

Together we can share the burdens and joys of providing better outcomes for Utah’s vulnerable children.

We Want to Know More...

In partnership with Utah Foster Care, Utah First Lady Abby Cox’s Show Up initiative has established the Care Communities Pilot Program in Utah. Corporations, congregations, and social groups in Utah are already participating in the program. 

Utah Foster Care finds, trains, and supports each Care Community, matching them with a foster family to serve for one year.

Individuals can help by donating supplies for Caregiver Kits that Care Team Members and volunteers use while spending time with kids in care.

The more healthy relationships a child has, the more likely he will be to recover from trauma and thrive. Relationships are the agents of change and the most powerful therapy is human love.
