Since 1989, Florida Foster Care Review (FFCR) has engaged community volunteers to advance the safety, stability and success of children in foster care by connecting them to essential services, supportive relationships and permanent families.
FFCR’s Citizen Review Panel (CRP) Program works with trained volunteers who facilitate comprehensive review hearings of children in foster care and identify unmet needs. Through the CRP’s recommended orders, FFCR advocates for abused children to receive critical services that promote stability and well-being. Our Permanency Roundtable (PRT) Program engages community partners in strategic action planning for youth lingering in foster care, creating lifelong families and healthy adult connections. FFCR’s team of experienced professionals educate and support our dedicated volunteers, evaluate the effectiveness of our work and innovate new approaches to increase our positive impact on children’s lives.
Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has. ~ Margaret Mead
