Help Us Create Adoption & Foster Friendly Schools 

Help us bring connection, belonging, and hope to schools and families across Illinois—and beyond.

iCARE4 Adoptive And Foster Families is growing, and so is the impact of our work. The iCARE Connection Crew is a team of volunteers who show up with heart, energy, and purpose to help us strengthen support for adoptive, foster, and kinship kids through schools and community outreach.

Whether you can give one hour or many, there’s a place for you here.
