WRI is dedicated to fostering a world of safety and fairness, providing essential technical assistance to human services agencies to enhance their capacity in a rapidly changing environment. With over 45 years of experience, WRI offers creative, effective support to public and private partners.

WRI supports foster families through programs like Fostering Futures NY (FFNY), which recruits and trains community volunteers to serve as "extended families," providing vital stability and enriching connections. We also offer practical guides summarizing best practices for recruiting and retaining foster, adoptive, and kinship homes, helping agencies meet the complex needs of children, including those from diverse backgrounds. WRI stands ready to help agencies navigate challenges and build better futures.
