Title: Growth Through Transition


1
Growth Through Transition
  • By Justin Franzmeier

2
Introduction
  • Foster Family Programs of Hawaii (FFP), formerly
    The Friends of Foster Kids, is a direct service,
    non-profit agency.
  • Presently FFP is in the transition stage of
    taking on the child welfare services work from
    Casey Family Programs.

3
The Environment
  • The problems of child abuse and neglect, and the
    need for out of home care continue to grow in our
    state.
  • Hawaiis drug problem is causing large increases
    of children who need help.
  • Although Hawaiis economy has become stronger,
    overloaded child welfare services has not seen
    improvement.

4
The Board of Directors
  • We believe the Board of Directors is very
    important to the development of the necessary
    infrastructure an agency needs to continue
    successfully.

5
The Staff
  • As Casey Family Programs exits our state, we have
    retained many of their former staff.
  • Depend on staff to continue work of Casey Family
    Programs, but also develop new services to fill
    community needs.

6
Programs
  • Adoption Connection
  • Hawaii Foster Youth Coalition
  • Annual Holiday Party and Picnic at the Hawaiian
    Water Adventures Park

7
Funding
  • Concentrated our 2004 efforts to develop funding
    for new infrastructure.
  • Funding strategy includes writing grants and
    receiving more in-kind donations.

8
Conclusion
  • Foster Family Programs of Hawaii has a goal to
    reach every youth and family involved in the
    Child Welfare System that needs our help.
  • With a productive environment, strong board of
    directors and staff, helpful programs and
    adequate funding FFP is on a mission to change
    lives one child at a time.
