What You Can Expect
Engaging and Practical Live Classes
Each online class meeting will include dynamic conversations, training, and guidance to help you communicate about your work and the world of foster care effectively. And by practicing what you’re learning with others who understand the challenges and opportunities you're facing, you’ll fine-tune your skills surrounded by an encouraging community.
Application Resources
and Exercises
Targeted pre-work, practical assignments, and optional deep-dive resources will help you apply what you have learned each day—and equip you with evergreen tools you can keep using well after the course ends. By dedicating two hours each day to class gatherings and these assignments, you’ll gain skills that will serve you long-term.
A Compelling Six-Minute Pitch
Each day's gatherings and assignments will help you develop foundational skills and content for a compelling six-minute pitch communicating what you do, sharing your passion for foster care, and inviting others to join you on the journey to more than enough.
You'll present this pitch to a breakout group of other foster care collaborators like you on the final day of class!
"This course provides the marketing knowledge and insight that often our not-for-profit agencies simply can't afford. I believe several colleagues would benefit as all at times must explain 'what we do and why,' and having a consistent and coherent message is essential . . ."

You Have What It Takes to Make the Pitch
Your passion to see your community reach more than enough for children and families in foster care runs deep. But when you have the opportunity to communicate that passion and invite others to join you, sometimes you feel a bit overwhelmed—or like you aren't quite connecting with your audience.
How can you sum up what you do in just a few short minutes? How can you share your own story and passion in a way that resonates with your audience and builds bridges in your community? How can you invite people to act, not just listen to what you have to say?
Whether you are a former foster parent seeking to mobilize others, a staff member at an organization trying to build partnerships, or a church ministry leader looking to engage other churches, you have what it takes to make the pitch.
By participating in this one-week course, you will discover and practice skills that will help you communicate what you do, share your passion for foster care, and mobilize others to join you on the journey to more than enough.
