The purpose of the program is to offer training and support to
kinship care providers in the Lassen Community College district. A
Kinship Provider is a relative who is caring for a related child
that has been removed from the parental home either voluntarily or
involuntarily. When it is unsafe for children to live with their
parents, or when their parents are unable to care for them, children
need an alternate living environment to help them continue to grow
and learn. Often the best option for these children is to live with
family members, an arrangement called Kinship Care.
Classes are held on campus and are free and open to anyone who would
like to attend. The times and dates of classes are listed on the
college website. Class topics include:
