Let Opentip help you recognize National Foster Care Month this May. With over 500,000 American children currently in foster care (and about 12 million alumni), it almost goes without saying that foster care plays an important role in the lives of many individuals. Foster parents are responsible for ensuring the health and well-being of children whose families are in crisis. However, there are many people involved in the foster care process outside of foster parents, including mentors, advocates, social workers, and volunteers. Your company's participation in this month long awareness event can help countless people across the country.
