Represented
by having their voices heard by policy makers, the public, and others who influence the system that profoundly impacts their lives.FosterClub recognizes the importance of perspective from lived experience in the foster care system. Their belief in me translated into belief in myself and a drive to serve foster youth that need someone to believe in them.
Brian Morgantini (member, National Policy Council)
Because I spent time in foster care, it has incredibly encouraged me to keep being as passionate as I have been, all these years. Advocacy is in my blood, I still talk about fosterclub nearly everyday to people eight years later!
Michael Hendricks (former All-Star)
FosterClub has given me perspective on my past and because of that I have finally been able to grieve and move on. It’s honestly the best thing I could have asked for.
