Need Support? The NCFPA Is Here for You

North Carolina’s foster, adoptive, and kinship parents face significant challenges as they try to provide love, nurturance, stability, and—most importantly—a home to the children in their care.

The North Carolina Foster Parents Association (NCFPA) is a place where caregivers can turn for information, training, education, technical assistance, and support. The association, which reflects the geographic, racial, and socioeconomic diversity of our State, is committed to working collaboratively with others and to advocating for its members at the county, state, and national levels.

So that it can adequately meet your needs, the NCFPA has organized itself into teams serving the four regions of North Carolina. Each year the association elects officials to represent these regions. To make a request or discuss a concern, use the information below to identify the region in which you live and then contact one of the people from the NCFPA who has volunteered to represent that region.
