Dear Friends of Foster's Home,
On Thursday, January 22, 2026, the Foster's Home operational board accepted my resignation as President/CEO effective March 31, 2026. Glenn Newberry hired me as a Field Development Officer on April 1, 2016. In March of 2020, the board offered me the position to become President/CEO. I will have completed 10 years of total service to Foster's Home.
This decision has not come easily. For me, this has been more than a job. I’ve done my best to be a face of Foster’s that changed the stereotypes that surrounded our kids and our work. I am grateful for the opportunity to have served alongside the Foster’s Home staff, volunteers, and supporters. I leave with immense respect for this organization and hope for its continued success in the years to come.
Douglas Young
President & CEO
