RACINE – Racine County Foster Care is hosting a series of informational sessions to educate community members about becoming foster parents in hopes they will “Take the Plunge” and become a foster parent this summer. 

“This is an opportunity for community members to learn about the rewarding, life-changing experience that is becoming a foster parent,” said Racine County Foster Parent Recruiter Jessica Scheeler. “If you’ve ever been interested in fostering or wondered what it takes to become a foster parent, we encourage you to attend a session.”

Seven sessions have been scheduled in the month of June at the four local Community Aquatic Centers in Racine, Mount Pleasant and Burlington.  The first session is scheduled at the YMCA Sealed Air Branch in Mount Pleasant on Monday, June 6 at noon. Members of the public that attend an information session will receive a free day pass to one of Racine County’s community aquatic centers.  Current foster parents who refer a friend that attends a session will get entered into a raffle to win a family season pass. 

If you are interested in learning more about becoming a foster parent or for more details about the information sessions, please contact Jessica Scheeler at jessica.scheeler@racinecounty.gov or call 262-638-6595.
