Just a friendly reminder that we're on YouTube. 💙 If you want to know what it's like to work with SCYAP or have any questions about foster care, you can more than likely find the answer you're looking for from one of our amazing staff on our channel. 👇😊

The school year is fast approaching and the need for foster parents, particularly for school-aged children, is immense. We are incredibly thankful to Live 5 News for helping to bring awareness to this need. Mr. Jonathan Dugan, one of our phenomenal Foster Dads, said it so powerfully in his interview, "There's always a dire need for foster parents. It's definitely a challenge, it's definitely not an easy task to take on some days, but the benefit that comes from it, the happiness you see from a child, the connections, relationships that you make, makes it worth it." 💙

It's time for another Photo Booth Friday! 🎉 Our feature for this week is our totally rad WRAP Around Services team! 💙

If just 1,000 churches had one family become a licensed foster home, it would help children needing a temporary home with a family to have that opportunity. SCYAP is ready to work with any church congregation in South Carolina. There are children in every county in SC that need a family. 💙 Learn more about foster care today. 👉 https://lnkd.in/eFb52Qbg

Hey, hey it's Photo Booth Friday! 🎉 This week our feature is the super cool Charleston Crew. 💙

Best part of working with SCYAP? Knowing you’re helping. Our wonderful WRAP Program Supervisor, Betty Stachurski, hits the nail on the head. “Everything helps…” even when it may not feel like it, every bit of effort put forth is helping to make a difference for children and youth in need. 💙

A massive and sincere thank you to Living Local Carolina for continuing to spread awareness about the ongoing need for more foster families. Another giant thank you goes out to the sweet Arrant family, and our incredible Associate Executive Director, Lurline Jerry. Amazing work, all around. 💙

We are so excited to share the second news segment with Living Living Local Carolina. Thank you to the Living Local crew, Lurline Jerry, SCYAP Associate Executive Director, and our phenomenal foster parent, Ms. Rhonda Benjamin, for such a wonderful job in helping to spread awareness about the great need for more foster families.  While National Foster Care Month may be over, it is always the right time to spread awareness about the needs of children in foster care. Not everyone can be a foster parent, but everyone can speak on behalf of children in need. 💙

We are so grateful to Living Local Carolina for helping to spread awareness about the great need for more loving foster families. An extra special thank you to our phenomenal foster parent, Lillie Schleicher, and SCYAP Associate Executive Director, Lurline Jerry for their excellent interviews! Stay tuned for a second segment, and more important news coverage coming soon. #NationalFosterCareMonth 💙
