Why do so many foster care systems fall short in providing adequate support for vulnerable children and families? Amber’s firsthand experiences highlighted critical gaps within the foster care system, motivating her to establish the Riverside Project. Riverside Project focuses on collaborative system change and the mobilization of churches and communities to fill gaps in the foster care system.
We also explore the complexities and potential of transitioning to a community-based foster care model. Amber emphasizes the benefits and challenges of fostering regional ownership and community collaboration. Whether through volunteering, praying, or responding to local needs, everyone has something valuable to offer.
