Helping kids

Once the kids go to school I'd like to get into a career of helping kids in need. We're 26 and working on our foster license but I'd like to do more. My husband doesn't think cps would be good for me because I don't tolerate child abuse but I think that's what this world needs. I'd like to know if there's anyone out there that helps kids, what you do and maybe some stories, pros and cons. Thank you!
