Welcome to Maple Star! Our beginning in Nevada focused on providing foster care services to our community. Our homes are therapeutic-level foster homes, or Specialized Foster Care homes, which means the youth we work with have a history of trauma and have mental health needs. Maple Star supports our foster children with therapists, coordinators and other providers who specialize in working with children
Fostering is a challenging and rewarding experience; foster parents make lasting impacts on the lives of foster children and their families. Fostering is a great way to give back to our community. A foster home provides a safe, supportive and structured environment to a child from our community while reunification or long-term placement options are achieved. Supportive services are usually provided to children while in foster care, including therapy, PSR/BST services, and coordination with other community service agencies.
