Fostering the Future for American Children and Families 17 dic 2025 03:00 p. m.

Sometimes we gather as friends, and other times as worshippers. During this special time of year, our most cherished traditions are when we come together as family. The HHS Faith Center is thinking about the role of family in all its iterations. Family is where we turn to for love, rest, growth, fun, and other similar reasons. While family is important to all of us, there are those in our communities who do not have safe and loving homes. This is especially true for a number of youths in the foster care community. That’s why the President and First Lady unveiled the Fostering the Future for American Children and Families Executive Order in November. Faith communities are meeting this need for foster families, and the White House is taking notice. The inclusion of faith-based organizations in this Executive Order acknowledges the Trump Administration’s appreciation of faith groups stepping into the crisis for children in need. We invite you to join us on December 17th for our informative webinar on Fostering the Future (see more detailed information below). The foundation of families is love. We all desire to give and receive love. Love informs our actions. As we come together at this special time of the year, we celebrate those traditions that bond the family unit. It’s the love that we share that unifies us. The Christmas and Hanukkah season is a special time for families around the country to gather. The HHS Faith Center wishes you and yours a lovely Christmas, a joyful Hanukkah, and a prosperous New Year. Please join the HHS Faith Center for a webinar titled 'Fostering and Faith: Partnerships to Serve Families' on Wednesday, December 17th, 2025 at 1:00PM ET on Zoom and hear how government seeks to partner with faith communities making a difference for foster youth in America. Register here to join us. On November 13th, President Donald J. Trump and First Lady Melania Trump announced a new Executive Order, “Fostering the Future for American Children and Families”, to modernize America’s foster care system and empower young Americans transitioning out of foster care with greater tools, resources, and opportunities to promote lifelong independence and success. Under Mrs. Trump’s leadership, this unprecedented presidential order unites Federal resources with innovative public- and private-sector partnerships, especially including partnerships with faith communities. The Order strengthens partnerships with faith-based organizations and houses of worship and directs action to stop discrimination based on religious beliefs, ensuring every qualified person is able to serve families and children in need. The Trump Administration is ensuring our Nation’s foster care system harnesses the unparalleled generosity and resources available across our Nation to serve every child. Join us to hear from key federal officials as well as faith and community leaders who are leading the charge to address the needs of foster youth in our community. https://hhsgov.zoomgov.com/webinar/register/WN_IOrbjSa9S-awwgt_kQdaqQ#/registration 17 dic 2025 03:00 p. m.
