Fostering Acadia is a licensed child-placing agency through the Virginia Department of Social Services. Fostering Acadia serves foster youth between 17-21 years of age.

IL for a Day is an event where youth interested in our program can spend the day at Fostering Acadia! They are paired with a current youth in the program and a Fostering Acadia staff member. The interested youth will participate in a mock grocery shopping trip, extended tour of all Fostering Acadia campuses, meet and greet with Fostering Acadia employer partnerships, an IL event, and dinner out with the members of the Fostering Acadia team. This event is free! Please contact jason@fosteringacadia.org to sign up.
