West Virginia trains foster parents to recruit in their communities and has created videos in which youth in foster care share their experiences.

The resource center trains foster parents to recruit foster families within their communities. Each participating agency identifies a Foster Parent Champion for that purpose. Foster parents are reimbursed for time, travel and childcare and are given $100 gift cards for recruiting new licensed foster parents. The state also has a Foster Parent Advisory Committee that provides input on pending policies and legislation. Wisconsin partners with Quality Parenting Initiative.
