THE PROGRAM
Yvonne
Johnson
from the Ettie Lee Youth & Family Services spoke to us. It was
established in 1950 and was the first home for kids in the USA.
Now they have 9 homes for boys and a foster care agency. They
help kids from 0 – 18. They are licensed for adoptions. Most
foster parents end up adopting the kids. They are looking for
mentors and donations. They provide education for the mentors.
If you want to become a foster parent you must take classes, be
finger printed & take CPR. The group homes are in Fontana,
Azusa, Baldwin Park & Covina. The foster homes are all over.
They don’t have a group of kids in foster care. But when they
get a call to come get a kid, they need to place them right
away. Each group home can house up to 12.
