Resource Family Orientation

The Alaska Center for Resource Families (ACRF) invites individuals and families across Alaska to a supportive orientation for those interested in becoming resource parents.

Orientation is the first step to becoming a foster or adoptive parent in Alaska.

The orientation will:

• Explain the mission and function of the Office of Children’s Services (OCS)
• Define the term “resource family”
• Outline the steps to become licensed
• Review the application process
• Clarify available supports

Resource family orientation is held over the phone from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m. Looking for support with your application? After the orientation we will offer an optional hour-long session to get help with completing the application.
