Fostering Together

About Fostering Together

Fostering Together is a collaborative program between the State of Washington and Olive Crest Foster Family Agency, a national leader in therapeutic focused services for children in foster care.

Since 1973, Olive Crest has served over 5,000 children and families annually throughout Washington, California, and Nevada. Olive Crest was invited by the State of Washington to provide services and started a Foster Family Program in 1999. Since then, Olive Crest has served over 1,500 children and families in Washington. Though more than three decades have passed, the organization's founding commitment to the welfare of at-risk youth continues to fuel Olive Crest's mission of making a difference, "One Life at a Time."®

Dedicated to finding prospective foster homes within Washington State, Fostering Together provides support and information for potential foster parents and assists them through the licensing process.
