NYAP Florida - Foster Parenting
Thank you for your interest in becoming a foster parent. Foster parents enjoy many wonderful benefits. Not the least of which is the life long satisfaction of knowing they have had a lasting, positive impact on the life of a child, giving them the stability, love and self confidence necessary to succeed throughout their lives.
The Broward County program needs parents who will provide positive and nurturing influences on children with specific needs or challenges which are related to either 1) substance abuse; 2) medical fragility; or 3)gender/sexual orientation issues.
If you have not already done so, please be sure to complete and on-line inquiry so we can provide you with additional information.
The state of Florida has specific qualifications for foster parents. They are as follows:
- Must be at least 21 years of age.
- Must have a permenant address.
- Must be financially self sufficient.

To become licensed, foster parents must complete the 30 hour MAPP training curriculum as well as additional training related to the specialized population of children and youth served by NYAP-Florida.
