Foster Village with Holly Burk

We’re pleased to support Foster Village in our work and would love for YOU to learn more about them too. Join us for a meeting at the Clay Pit where we’ll go over club updates, and hear more about the work they do.

“Foster parents often feel tired and alone. Most families foster for less than a year, citing burnout and lack of support as the reason they stop. At the same time, 85% of people who are not foster parents say they care about vulnerable children and want to help.

Foster Village bridges this gap between foster families and caregivers and those who want to help, meeting practical needs and providing holistic support beyond the system.“

Holly Burk

Director of Partnerships and Strategic Development

Holly has a degree in Social Work from the University of Texas at Austin and has been working in the child welfare system since 2009. Fun fact: Holly licensed Chrystal and Nick Smith as foster parents in 2014! In addition to her lengthy work experience, Holly is a certified TBRI® Practitioner and her expertise in trauma-informed care will positively impact the children and families she serves at Foster Village for years to come.

Holly and her husband, Tel, have three wonderful kids. She loves Houndstooth Coffee and TacoDeli tacos, and her favorite way to spend an afternoon is in the backyard or at a restaurant catching up with friends while the kids run and play.
