How We Work To Create Sustainable Change In South Dakota Foster Care

South Dakota Kids Belong partners with Governor Kristi Noem’s Stronger Families Together initiative, along with other political and community/tribal leaders, to drive sustainable change in foster care..

We’re committed to bringing hope to communities across our state by liaising across these sectors to collaborate in order to dramatically improve the experiences and outcomes of children in foster care. It’s a big vision that we are committed to bringing to reality in South Dakota – and across the country as part of the America’s Kids Belong family.


“The partnership between Stronger Families Together and South Dakota Kids Belong is inimitable in providing a new and refreshing viewpoint for the recruitment of foster and adoptive homes in South Dakota. Achieving the first year’s goal of 300 new foster and adoptive families is possible because of this unique collaboration. This partnership between Stronger Families Together and SDKB results in strong South Dakota communities.”
