Many children and families connected to foster care face isolation, inconsistent support and a shortage of safe,stable placements that meet their everyday needs. Local social workers, resource parents and community volunteers often lack easy access to practical help that keeps children safe at home or in caring short-term care. This is exactly the problem that Every Child Oregon wants to solve.

Introducing Every Child Oregon
Every Child Oregon steps in to address problems in the current foster care system. It does this by connecting neighbors, volunteers and service providers with children and families impacted by foster care. The organization runs statewide programs that include foster recruitment, respite care, peer mentoring, volunteer opportunities, and family resources to strengthen day-to-day support systems for children in care.

How Does Every Child Oregon Work?
Every Child Oregon partners with local sites across Oregon to bring help where it is needed most. The group organizes county-specific efforts so volunteers and potential foster families can find opportunities in their own communities. In addition to matching people with open roles, the organization offers training and resource pages for families and care providers who need practical guidance.

The group's foster initiative is praiseworthy. It focuses on opening homes for children who are in urgent need for long-term or temporary foster care. Respite care volunteers provide short-term relief for families and caregivers so that everyone avoids burnout and children get consistent attention.

Peer mentoring pairs young people who have lived experience with caring adults who can offer guidance, stability, and a listening ear. Volunteer roles vary from helping at events to meeting tangible needs for local kids and families.

Volunteers and Donors
Community fundraising and donations play a direct role in keeping services running. Supporters can give by credit or debit, stock, crypto, donor-advised funds, and other channels listed on the organization's site. Those funds help maintain local programs, pay for training, and underwrite critical items that resource families need right away. Every Child Oregon also publishes stories and newsletters so donors and volunteers can check out real outcomes and stay informed.

Partnering with Local Agencies
Leaders at Every Child Oregon put a priority on hands-on outreach. Local teams maintain calendars of events, run volunteer orientation sessions, and connect new supporters with established caregivers.

Staff and volunteers work directly with Oregon Department of Human Services workers and community partners to make sure help reaches children quickly and safely. This close coordination reduces paperwork delays and helps match the right volunteers with the right needs.

How to Help?
For agencies, businesses and individuals looking to help, Every Child Oregon makes it simple to get started. Prospective foster families can find local contacts and step-by-step guidance, while those who prefer short-term commitment can sign up for respite or other volunteer roles.
