Our Mission
Second Nurture creates circles of compassion and support
for foster families so that they are held, resilient and successful—and kids have the loving, growthful relationships and resources they need to thrive.
We help families explore, pursue and thrive in fostering and adoption by mobilizing communities to support them every step of the way.
Personal, Communal and Social Responsibility:
We are all responsible for one another. The well-being of children, families, communities, and society are mutually reinforcing and must be cultivated toward empathy, love and strength. We partner with courageous, visionary, and open-minded communities that choose to prioritize the needs of children.
Our Values
Learning and Agility:
We seek best professional practices to live our values, and listen to each family and community to understand their unique needs and benefit from their wisdom.
Expertise and Collaboration:
Our work leverages the expertise of existing professionals and organizations as well as the skills of the membership, and the wisdom of our families.
Diversity:
We seek sustainable organizational diversity. And our partnerships support families regardless of parental marital status, sexual orientation, gender identity, race, religion, class or physical abilities.
