Mission

Foster Advocates is not just our name; it's our mission. We foster advocacy, policy change, and organizing by partnering with current/former foster youth and impacted communities.

What We Do

ORGANIZE
We organize individuals with connections to child welfare systems to build power and the capacity of our Foster community. Our Foster Advocates Fellowship is a 6-month leadership and advocacy development opportunity for current & former Fosters to build their capacity and turn "activators into activists."

ADVOCATE
We advocate with Fosters and other stakeholders at the county and state level to create the changes our communities need.

CONDUCT POLICY & RESEARCH
We conduct policy and research on the identified issues our Foster communities prioritize, and support annual legislative priorities identified by the Foster community.
