Membership

JOIN THE ALAMEDA COUNTY FOSTER PARENT ASSOCIATION

Membership in the ACFPA is open to Resource Families (relatives or Foster Parents) who are actively caring for foster and/or adopted children in their homes. Since the ACFPA is a Chapter under the California Foster Parent Association (CSFPA), by becoming a member of ACFPA, you will also become a member of CSFPA and can take advantage of the offerings provided by both organizations.

Benefits of Membership

  • Monthly membership meetings, providing a forum to discuss relevant topics, ask questions and network with other Resource Families.
  • Free training programs needed for your Resource Family Approval (RFA) licensure.
  • ACFPA sponsored events.
  • Enrichment, Academic and Achievement scholarships.
  • Access to new clothing donated from reputable organizations, and diapers (when available) through our Clothing Closet.
  • Access to new donated products, such as bicycles, backpacks and school items.
  • Information related to caring for newborns and children with special needs through the County’s Community Action to Reach out to Infants (CARI) Program and support for CARI caregivers.

Membership Prices 

  • Full Member: $62/year for licensed couples OR $47/year for licensed singles
  • Associate Member: $62/year for non-licensed couples OR $47/year for non-licensed singles

Membership dues are tax deductible.  If you are a NEWLY LICENSED caregiver receiving services through Alameda County, the County will cover your membership costs for the first year, therefore no payment is required with your application.
