Foster Parents have the right to choose which children are placed in their home, allowing them to consider their family’s strengths, capacity, and readiness. When caregivers can make informed decisions, children benefit from stronger connections, more consistency, and a home that truly meets their needs.

⭐️Placement Has Been Found⭐️

Rutledge Youth Foundation is seeking a supportive and nurturing placement for a 5 year old boy who is almost 6 years old. This placement need is urgent. He is a creative child with a variety of interests and enjoys staying active and engaged.
He loves to draw, swim, ride his bike, and listen to music. His music interests are wide-ranging, from Old Town Road to K-Pop, and he enjoys singing very loudly. He also really enjoys playing Roblox and talking about the games, characters, and things he has been doing on Roblox.
He would benefit from a home that is patient, willing to engage his interests while providing stability, and providing opportunities for him to be active and creative. A placement that has youth that are the same age or older than him would be beneficial.

Please contact Samantha Schaller at (217)525-7757 EXT 1223.

Today, we are celebrating a guardianship that was achieved for this young man after 1337 days in care.

Thank you Knight's Action Park for allowing us to give our clients a fun day out yesterday!

Rutledge Youth Foundation is attending the Old Capitol Farmers Market presented by HSHS St. John's (Downtown Springfield, Inc.) today, July 25th, 2026, until 12:30pm! Stop by to get information about becoming a Foster Parent!
