Maui Youth and Family Services (MYFS) is looking for loving families on the island of Maui that can temporarily open their homes to youth 10 to 18 years old who need positive role models with strong parenting and communication skills. Teachers provide that every day and can create loving homes for keiki.

Maui Youth and Family Services’ goal is to reunify youth with their families, but in the interim, these children may need a home for a few days or a few months.

To be considered as a foster parent:

  • You can be single or married,
  • You must be at least 25 years old,
  • You may rent or own your home, and
  • You must pass a criminal background check.
  • You do not need children of your own.

As a foster home family, one would receive:

  • Foster parent training and support,
  • Daily monetary stipend when youth are placed in a home, and
  • Access to our 24-hour MYFS support line.

If you are interested, you must complete the application process, participate in a home evaluation, and attend free foster care training.
