• Every 90 days, everyone involved with our children meet to look at progress and need for next 90 days for the child.

VALUES works to maintain long-term placements that encourage growth in foster children.

VALUES only works in Wise, Scott, Lee Counties, and the City of Norton so all children are local, needy children.

VALUES will work to match children referred to family that best suits the child/family needs.

Our program believes in caring for our families and our children with respect, trust, and support. We have an annual Christmas party and summer picnic to show our gratitude for all the work our parents do and the successes that our children achieve. We have birthday parties for our children when they turn 18.
