Foster and Kinship Care (FKCE)
The Foster and Kinship Care Education (FKCE) program at Lake Tahoe Community College offers FREE classes and trainings for current and prospective Resource Families (foster care and kinship care, relative or non-relative) who live in South Lake Tahoe. Our programs are designed to engage and educate Resource Families so they are able to meet the educational, emotional, behavioral and developmental needs of children and youth. The training topics we offer cover a wide range of subjects, with a focus on Trauma, Resource Family Approval (formerly Foster Family), and support and training for Kinship Providers.
We look forward to providing you with our Foster and Kinship Care Education training in a live online environment via Zoom.
Here are the requirements of your participation in order to receive credit/certification:
Resource Family Approval
The state of California has implemented a variety of changes to help streamline the process of becoming a foster parent that are both family-friendly and child-centered. Pre-service training based on the newly implemented process is available at LTCC. Please contact Dana McKnight for more information or to register for classes.
