Citizen Foster Care Review Boards are "in critical need" of people who can review cases to ensure that foster children are placed in safe, permanent homes as quickly as possible, a statement from the Administrative Office of the Courts said.
Officials are seeking volunteers in all 120 counties. Potential volunteers must apply, consent to criminal background check and complete a training program. They generally spend one day each month reviewing cases.
Kentucky lawmakers created the review boards in 1982 to decrease the time children spend in out-of-home care.
