Want to make a meaningful difference for a foster family?

Our Babysitting Certification Training equips participants to provide safe, trauma-informed respite care for foster families. You’ll receive training in trauma-informed care, medication administration, safe transportation practices, CPR, and First Aid, and we’ll provide breakfast, lunch, and snacks!

We have two upcoming trainings: October 24 in Waco and December 5 in Austin, both from 9am-4pm.

Providing respite care is a practical way to come alongside foster families and give caregivers the support they need.

We’re glad to share this opportunity from The Mayfly Project, a national nonprofit that uses fly fishing and mentorship to support children who are currently in or have experienced foster care.

Participants will join mentors for five outings, where they’ll learn to fly fish, tie flies, practice catch-and-release fishing, and learn about caring for our waterways. Plus, after completing all five sessions, each participant gets their own fishing gear to keep!
