In May, we celebrated National Foster Care Month and showed gratitude to our foster parents. Each foster home received gifts and an invitation to a Virtual Foster Parent Appreciation Ceremony.
Three ceremonies were held with messages of gratitude from Cayuga Centers' leadership, elected officials, and various celebrities. The events also featured an art show, raffles, and gifts for attendees. Next year we hope to return to regional in-person foster parent appreciation events.
Internally, throughout the month, we highlighted the growth and fun facts about each of our programs and asked staff to reflect on what they enjoy most about working with foster parents and youth.
