Program Coordinators
The essence of Fostering Hope’s work and success lies with our program coordinators, who lead and train volunteer teams, and who serve as the liaisons with faith congregations, the foster parents, child placement agencies, and El Paso County Department of Human Services.
These coordinators ensure that foster parents and children in foster care are supported in the most effective ways possible, and that all participants are safe and emotionally supported.
