Getting involved with Friends Investing in Foster Kids (FIFK) means becoming part of a compassionate community dedicated to empowering youth in foster care and the families who support them. Every action—whether you choose to volunteer, mentor, donate, or spread awareness—helps create lasting change. These collective efforts give children in the Dallas County Child Protection and Permanency Court system a sense of stability, belonging, and hope for a brighter future.
FIFK exists because no child should feel forgotten or left behind. The youth we serve are navigating unique challenges that require consistent support and understanding. Through community involvement, we work to meet essential needs, encourage educational success, and promote the “normalcy” experiences every young person deserves—school events, sports, celebrations, and the encouragement to dream big.
Mentor a Child
Offer consistency, encouragement, and a listening ear. By mentoring a child in foster care, you become a trusted adult they can count on as they navigate school, friendships, and big life changes.
Volunteer Your Time
Help with events, support foster families, tutor kids, or lend your skills behind the scenes. Every hour you give helps create stable, joyful moments in a child’s life.
Give a Gift or Donation
Your financial gifts and in-kind donations (clothes, school supplies, birthday gifts) go directly toward meeting real, everyday needs. Together, we can make sure no child in foster care goes without the basics—or the little extras that make them feel special.
Advocate & Spread the Word
Use your voice to raise awareness about foster care in your community. Share our mission, invite friends to get involved, and help ensure every child has someone fighting for their future.
