Refugee & Foster Care Support:

Support families with dignity and care.

Practical resources, appropriate referrals and qualified partnerships can help reduce barriers. The available route depends on location, eligibility and service capacity. Please do not send private case files or identifying details about children through a general inquiry form.

Our focus values safety, stability, education, belonging and independence. Ask about current service information using only your general location and a brief, non-sensitive question. An inquiry does not secure housing, a placement, funding or a particular response time.

Qualified services and clear responsibilities

This page describes areas for appropriate partnership and support. It does not present FWF as a licensed foster-placement agency, clinical service or immigration-law provider. Housing and child-placement decisions, healthcare, therapy and legal advice must be handled by properly authorized organizations or qualified professionals.

Confirm the actual provider, service area, eligibility, costs if any, referral arrangements and secure information channel before sharing records or relying on a service. FWF’s role and a partner’s role must be stated separately.

Support themes

  • Housing and essentials: suitable food, clothing and household resources may support an agreed need. Emergency, transitional or long-term housing, foster homes, group homes and supported living are concepts requiring authorized providers and confirmed capacity.

  • Education: school participation, language support, supplies, supervised tutoring and learning opportunities may be areas for qualified collaboration. Scholarships and financial aid require separate confirmed availability and terms.

  • Community connection: cultural orientation, language learning, sports, arts and community activities can support belonging when appropriately supervised and accessible.

  • Emotional wellbeing and family support: counseling, therapy, peer support and family-reunification assistance require suitable professional leadership, consent and safeguarding. Legal, clinical and logistical roles must be agreed.

  • Life skills and independence: financial literacy, household management, job readiness, career learning and supervised youth mentoring may form part of an approved activity. Employment or placement is not guaranteed.

  • Rights and service information: qualified organizations may advise on immigration, asylum, foster-care processes and access to services. Nonpartisan public-benefit education and policy discussion should respect privacy and professional boundaries.

Safeguarding and concerns

Volunteering does not grant unsupervised access to children or vulnerable people. Any role requires an agreed scope, suitable screening, training, supervision and applicable permissions before participation.

If an activity is unsafe, pause it and contact the agreed supervisor. Contact FWF to request the appropriate route for a concern or complaint, without including confidential case details in the general form. For immediate danger or an urgent emergency, contact the relevant local emergency service.

Ways to contribute

Qualified refugee-support, child-welfare, educational and healthcare organizations can propose a partnership. Supporters can offer suitable essentials, support agreed needs or ask about supervised volunteer roles.
