The benefit of engaging with NFPA is work of mutuality. Choosing to engage means being willing to share your experiences with others engaged in the same work with the same commitment and compassion for improving the lives of children and families.

Being a part of the NFPA Council of State Affiliates builds relationships nationwide. It ignites my potential by providing guidance, support, and encouragement to better serve families, youth, and children in my own State.
Tammy Wells

Having served in my current role for over fifteen and a half years, I can always rely on the NFPA to keep me informed about foster care policy and practice issues in other states. It is great to have a peer group available to offer information and support!

It has been amazing working with NFPA! We have co-hosted two conferences in my time on the board and the experience, dedication and speakers that are attracted to these events are unparalleled in the foster care community.
