ATC’s Kinship & Foster Care Program

Seeking passionate caregivers to open their hearts and homes to children in need of a loving and nurturing environment.

Kinship Caregiver

Families can be our strongest connection to who we are. Supporting our families through difficult times makes us stronger together.

You can become a Kinship Caregiver and open your home to children in need in your family. Help ATC maintain and protect the child’s community connection, Indigenous identity, culture, heritage, spirituality, language and traditions.

Foster Caregiver

Loving and nurturing environments help children thrive. At ATC, we support all Foster Families with maintaining a child’s community connections to ensure their continued development of their Indigenous identity, culture, heritage, spirituality, language and traditions.
