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.
