Information Sessions and Foster Chats

One of the best ways to get started with The Villages is to attend one of our many Information Sessions across the state, listed below. Once you’ve attended an Info Session, the next step is to sign up for your first pre-service foster parent training!
Both virtual and in-person Information Sessions are offered. Register online by filing out the form or by phone by clicking on the location nearest you and contacting the office at the phone number listed. A meeting link will be sent to the email you provide.
