The Institute for Child Welfare Innovation

We offer a variety of services to support child welfare professionals and organizations, including training, coaching, and consultation.

We proudly support agencies around the nation in replicating the 30 Days to Family® program, which was originally developed by the Foster & Adoptive Care Coalition in St. Louis, MO. More info about the 30 Days to Family® program can be found here: https://forchildwelfare.org/30-days-to-family

We also are so proud of our #10thousandlives movement which launched in 2020 in response to the pandemic. The #10thousandlives movement is a concerted effort to connect more children in foster care to their family. We've hosted free services such as webinars and Learning Collaboratives that are open to all professionals wanting to learn more about Family Search & Engagement. We also provided free individualized services to agencies or professionals, which include training, coaching, and consultation. Each and every one of our #10thousandlives services is 100% FREE to the participants, thanks to generous donors.

When we launched the #10thousandlives movement, our goal was to reach 1,000 professionals across the country, who will make a collective impact in the lives of 10,000 children and families. It's a lofty goal, but we have made tremendous progress! Here are our numbers as of March 2021:

* 675 professionals have participated in free services!
* 275 free hours of service have been provided!
* 2427 lives have been impacted!
* 635 other professionals have been impacted by the work!

With 5 months remaining, we anticipate we will easily make our goal of impacting #10thousandlives! More info can be found here: https://forchildwelfare.org/10thousandlives
