Otter Tail County is pleased to offer this outreach toolkit to help you plan, promote and raise awareness about the need for foster parents. The toolkit contains graphics, content and other downloads that provide messaging and resources to help recruit foster parents. Use these tools on websites, social media, in offices, at community events or wherever potential foster parents congregate.
There is a need for foster parents in Otter Tail County, and the county would like to partner with compassionate organizations and individuals to help recruit and promote. The objectives for this toolkit are to:
Encourage others to become foster parents
We need loving homes for children of all ages. If members of your organization have ever considered fostering, now is the time for them to learn more and explore whether it’s right for them.
Support current foster parents
Not everyone can become a foster parent, but everyone can help! Whether it’s through providing a meal, offering a listening ear, or helping with daily needs. There are many ways to support foster families through your organization and in your community.
Spread the word
Help raise awareness about the need for foster parents. Share this information with your network, use the included resources on social media, and become a champion for foster care in Otter Tail County.
