extends foster care benefits.

This year's keynote speaker will be Dr. John Gaines! 

"Dr. Gaines shares his drive to give hope to others because his own story grew from hopelessness. John earned his nickname “PUSH” (Persevere Until Something Happens) because he believes in the power of perseverance and teaches others to “keep pushing” and LOVE through life’s obstacles to become the best version of themselves."

Learn about upcoming changes to foster care, and what resources Tulare County Office of Education and districts can provide to the children you work with. Meet community service providers, social workers, and other educators to network and learn about other resources available to children and families in our county.
