About the volunteering opportunity
Temporary foster parents (m/f/d) | Berlin Lichtenberg
Make a real difference - live and grow with children.
As a short-term foster parent, you will take in children (usually between 0 and 5 years old) in your own home for 3 months with the option to extend. During this time, the child's perspective is clarified and, together with all parties involved (e.g. youth welfare office and family of origin), it is determined what the best follow-up help is for the child. You accompany the child through this period.
