Would I be able to get together foster children under foster care and play ball?

Question

Upon analyzing what I want to do with my life, I came across this idea of getting together with foster care homes and introducing a game of baseball twice a month. We would take donations of either money for equipment or even donated equipment. I would organize a team of 12-16 year old kids. What do you think? Would this work?

Answer 1

I wouldn't focus so much on foster care kids....but on institutionalized kids....fosters have homes and 'parents' and get to do those sorts of things....kids who aren't in foster programs are often unable to do those things....I think foster kids aren't often allowed to be with their siblings, as they are often separated into multiple families....maybe you could find some way to help out with that....but it would really be up to DSS and the foster parents as to who could participate.
