2025 AllStar Internship Application

This is a chance to turn your experience into action and voice into change!

Becoming an AllStar isn't just any internship—it’s a life-changing opportunity for young people with foster care experience to grow as leaders, advocates, and influencers, shaping the future of foster care.

We believe those who've been through it know best what needs to change. That’s why the AllStar Internship is built for you - young people aged 18-24 who were in foster care for any amount of time in any state.

Real Talk: Why This Internship Hits Different

Let's hear it straight from Devan Burnett, who interned as an AllStar after connecting with FosterClub at an Oregon foster youth conference:

"That huge experience of just meeting people with shared experiences, like-minded mindsets, and people who have had shared trauma and experiences... that connection was something so life-changing for me."

Imagine being in a space where you don't have to explain your story or justify your feelings because everyone just gets it. That's what 2024 AllStar intern Cloud Wilkins was looking for when they said:

"I wanted to meet people who were in care, who can understand what I went through."

What's In It For You?

  • Get paid to make a difference (yes, really! your time and experience is valuable)
  • Learn leadership skills that'll help you in any career
  • Connect with others who share similar experiences and a desire to lead
  • Get your voice heard by national leaders who make decisions about foster care
  • Build a network that could open doors you didn't even know existed

Wonder What It's Really Like?

Xavier Littlejohn heard about the AllStar Internship from someone who'd done it before: "When she was explaining it, I'm like, Woah. That's awesome. I would love to do that.'"

Janiyah Green heard about the opportunity from a social worker and it spoke to her goals. "I want to be able to be the person that you wish you had when you were in care. Because I wish when I was younger that I had somebody like me to guide me or just give me advice."
