Description

Our Mission:
We aim to reshape the child welfare system; we work to transform it into a more aware, responsive, and responsible agency. We aim to prevent belittlement and disregard of the needs of youth in foster care.

Who we are:
Our members consist of youth in foster care or anyone who's life has been affected by foster care system. Our members educate, advocate, and influence long-term changes within the foster care community.

What we do:

Provide public speaking training
Provide journalistic skills and trainings
Provide life skills to our peers, so that they may succeed beyond the foster care system
Provide youth and adult workshops to improve worker and child relationships in foster care.

Rights of youth in foster care are often violated. Youth are not given option or voices to direct their lives. Many times youth are stigmatized and stereotyped as being a bad child. However, we believe everyone should be heard, everyone deserves a chance at success, everyone should be treated fairly. No one should be prejudged; this belief motivates us to achieve our mission.
