We have seen the positive impact when neighbors, friends, relatives, and community members stay involved with the family and the child(ren) who need our care. That’s why we’re looking for caring, strong, kind and stable adults or parents living in Lycoming County to be difference-makers and foster a child. When you partner with Lycoming Foster Care, you are helping children from our own community. We are looking for strong foster families who are willing to provide our local children in need with a family. Our goal is to keep Lycoming County children in our community. We invite you to be difference-makers and teachers. We ask that you show a child — and their family — how to be successful in life. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602ae8da2904a615b7815595/1613424893943-0OT5V2O1B3QFX9DON3EN/Lyco-Feb+-Hike.jpg Lycoming Foster Care - Potential Foster Parent(s): May be married or single May have children of their own Must be at least 21 years of age Must be financially stable and able to meet their own needs Have a residence that meets the defined regulatory standards Must be willing to participate in a personal and home assessment by LCYS staff Must complete and pass required child abuse, state police and FBI clearances Must complete a medical assessment Must complete orientation and ongoing training https://www.lycomingchildrenyouth.com/available-24/7 daily 0.75 2021-03-12 https://www.lycomingchildrenyouth.com/children-youth-services daily 0.75 2021-02-15 https://www.lycomingchildrenyouth.com/lycoming-county-children-and-youth-services-supplement-to-service-map daily 0.75 2021-02-15 https://www.lycomingchildrenyouth.com/projects-1 daily 0.75 2021-02-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d3b3ed8084b6f00015405ba/1565292381043-ER9AOU1LISY7FVVCNVEQ/20140302_trade+151_0677.jpg Projects (Copy) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d3b3ed8084b6f00015405ba/1565292406252-8560GSO2A1FLMFQVTG60/Aro+Ha_0073.jpg Projects (Copy) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d3b3ed8084b6f00015405ba/1565292525597-WCO0DS8F9PHF2V1U45HY/20140228_Trade+151_0067+%281%29.jpg Projects (Copy) https://www.lycomingchildrenyouth.com/reporting-child-abuse daily 0.75 2021-03-12 https://www.lycomingchildrenyouth.com/services-overview daily 0.75 2021-04-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602ae8da2904a615b7815595/1614188060658-T9YWT6KTFRR2ZRL0Z3KC/Lyco-HouseSmallHeartsbig-RoomForMore.jpg Services Overview - Keeping Families Together We work in cooperation with local schools, medical personnel, law enforcement, mental health, drug and alcohol providers and community services providers to keep families together. https://www.lycomingchildrenyouth.com/contact-us daily 0.75 2024-08-01 https://www.lycomingchildrenyouth.com/partners-1 daily 0.75 2021-02-15 https://www.lycomingchildrenyouth.com/employment-opportunities-1 daily 0.75 2021-02-15 https://www.lycomingchildrenyouth.com/employment-opportunities daily 0.75 2021-02-15 https://www.lycomingchildrenyouth.com/healthchoices-eligibility daily 0.75 2021-02-15 https://www.lycomingchildrenyouth.com/peer-support-services daily 0.75 2021-02-15 https://www.lycomingchildrenyouth.com/childrens-services daily 0.75 2021-02-15 https://www.lycomingchildrenyouth.com/mental-health-services daily 0.75 2021-02-15 https://www.lycomingchildrenyouth.com/home daily 1.0 2026-03-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602ae8da2904a615b7815595/373689c7-1141-4dc2-8e91-a2935f940f2b/Food+Drive.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/602ae8da2904a615b7815595/1613509872177-I8SVT6CT8I4Q1FM1DDZM/Joinder-EI-youngfamtattoodad.jpg Home - Our Mission We are committed to supporting, strengthening and empowering families.
