Today there are nearly 600,000 children
in foster care. In spite of their large number, most foster kids
feel alone, isolated, and stigmatized.
FosterClub's mission is to provide encouragement, motivation,
information, education, and benefits for foster youth. At our websites,
kids are asking questions and getting answers. They discover other
successful former foster youth through our "foster to
famous" program,
send in opinions about their foster care experience, get recognition
for overcoming obstacles, enter our
contests (where everyone wins!), and more.
Our publications give youth tools to help then anticipate and
succeed.
Our events give youth an opportunity to get involved and
grow.
Outreach tools provide child welfare professionals effective ways
to communicate with youth in care. In researching and developing
new products for youth in care, we employ and consult with the "experts":
current and former foster kids. This collaboration brings increased
value to our products and ensures youth a voice in the foster care
system.
If you would like to learn more about FosterClub or discuss partnership
opportunities, call 503-717-1552.
Join us in helping to make life in foster
care take a turn for the better. Keep informed
