Resource Family Approval

Butte College FKCE offers Resource Family Approval (RFA) classes for those that are going through the process of becoming foster parents, relative caregivers or anyone that is going to care for a child that is not their own. There are seven three-hour classes (pods), for a total of 21 hours, required by Butte and Glenn County Children's Services. They do not have to be completed in order.

How to Become a Resource Parent


While RFA pods are designed for prospective foster families, anyone is welcome to attend pods 2, 3, 4, 5 and 7.
(Pods 1 and 6 are for resource parents only.)

All of our classes are free of charge.

*All classes are subject to cancellation and may be cancelled due to lack of pre-registration. Please check website for updates.

In-person classes are held at the Butte College Skyway Center - 2480 Notre Dame Blvd, Chico, CA 95928 unless otherwise noted.

At this time, Zoom options are available for pods 3, 4 and 7 only.
Zoom classes are a hybrid modality, where some participants participate online and some participate in-person.
