Research has long suggested that child abuse is known to repeat itself from one generation to the next. That’s why we create secure homes for children, both at our fostering community in Harrisburg and in our licensed foster homes throughout mid-Missouri. At Coyote Hill Foster Care Ministries, we are committed to creating a safe place to be a child.
About Our HomesAt Coyote Hill Foster Care Ministries, we provide the resources and training to help parents provide a temporary or forever home for a child in foster care. Foster parents stand in the gap to help a child heal from the trauma they’ve experienced and teach them valuable life skills. Foster parents play a vital role in a child’s story.
Become a Foster ParentFamily Advocates are essential to the Coyote Hill’s mission. A Family Advocate’s role is to ‘walk through life‘ with the foster family, while also providing in-home coaching and mentoring for foster families on a regular basis. They maintain a relationship with the family to make sure they have everything needed to be successful and create stability for their child.
Family Advocates provide anything from a Welcome Basket when the family welcomes their first child, to physical needs for their home, to more training throughout their foster parenting journey. Coyote Hill Family Advocates are excited to serve and walk through all the fun times as well as the challenges! This advocacy program contributes to our 88% foster parent retention rate, compared to the national average of 50%.
Support for Foster FamiliesWe know safe children today make safe families tomorrow. That’s why we won’t stop working to end child abuse and neglect in this generation – making an eternally significant impact.
