St. Joe’s Foster Care Info Sessions

Being a supportive presence for our St. Joe’s kids is what they need to be successful in every part of their life. Learn about the process of becoming certified as a foster parent or respite provider by attending our informational meetings held the first Tuesday of every month at 5:45 p.m. at St. Joseph Children’s Home (2823 Frankfort Avenue). No commitments are necessary but open hearts and minds are encouraged!

RSVP is required. Send an email to Lisa Barber-Atwell at info@sjkids.org and put “FC Info Session” in the subject line to hold your spot. For questions or concerns, email info@sjkids.org or call (502) 893-0241. Virtual options are also available. Email us to schedule a time.

If you would like to become certified as a foster parent, you can attend one of our foster care and adoption training sessions. We request that you attend our informational meeting prior to registering for the session. We also offer training on Saturdays.
