National Youth Advocate Program works to license and support families who want to foster children.
National Youth Advocate Program serves all counties.
NYAP licenses all homes as therapeutic, but will place non-therapeutic children with their therapeutic siblings in order for siblings to remain together. The agency focus is primarily to place teens.
The training hours required to become licensed are a total of 32 hours.
16 training hours per year are required to maintain the foster home license beyond the initial 2-year licensing period. Recertification training is at the discretion of the foster parent/family.
NYAP requires daily documentation for both therapeutic and non-therapeutic children placed in the homes they license and manage.
