Catholic Family Center specializes in foster care services for youth from around the world up to age 21 whose lives have been torn apart by war and oppression. The youth, arriving in the United States with no identified family or support, have been exposed to chronic trauma and stress which may include exposure to violence, loss of family and loved ones, deprivation, abuse and neglect, and displacement from their homes. The program works to help them resolve the impact of this trauma, develop Independent Living and academic skills and provide ongoing support to their foster families to assist them to build a strong family unit.
Information meetings are held on the second Monday of the month from 6 to 7:30 pm located at 55 Troup St., Rochester 14608. For more information or to reserve a spot please call (585) 546-7220 x4801.
Meeting Dates:
Referred youth must be under 18 years of age at time of entrance into our program.
