What You Can Expect
Interviews and Conversations with Leading Collaborators Around the Country
Each day is anchored by engaging interviews with local and national collaborators who will share key things they have learned to help you build effective foster care collaboration in your community. There will also be opportunities for interactive conversations throughout the week. You won’t want to miss this time in community!
Cohorts to Focus on Relationship Building and Coaching
This course will transform the way you see online learning. With a focus on connection-building, practical knowledge, and strategic planning, you will leave this course with the tools and relationships to work with others to transform foster care in your community.
Collaboration Building Principles from the book “Until There’s More Than Enough”
This engaging guide will challenge and inspire you to work with others to transform foster care where you live. You will learn the principles and practices that have been producing results in other communities around the country. You will also be given daily one-page action guides to capture your best thinking about how to move things forward where you live.
More Than Enough What?
The words “not enough” are heard every day inside the US foster care system:
Not enough resources. Not enough support. Not enough families.
But it doesn't have to be that way where you live.
You can be the catalyst in your community to provide more than enough for children and families.
The More Than Enough Essentials one-week course will:
- Introduce you to leaders from around the country representing decades of experience and insight.
- Multiply the impact of your time, people, and funding with ideas and resources from the More Than Enough Community.
- Expand your reach and help you build community momentum through effective collaboration.
We believe that transforming foster care happens best in collaboration with others.
