Big News: FosterClub Launches a New App—Built for You, With You
For 25 years, FosterClub has worked to make sure young people in foster care have a place to connect, belong, and be heard.
Now, we’re leveling up.
Say hello to FosterClub: The App—a community made with and for young people in foster care.
Why The FosterClub App Matters
We’ve heard from thousands of young people about the challenges of foster care. One thing that kept coming up? The need for a real, supportive community—a place to connect, find resources, and discover new opportunities. So, we built it—together with you.
Inside the app, you can:
- Connect with other young people who get it
- Find resources that actually matter
- Share your voice and experiences
- Discover scholarships, contests, and paid opportunities
- Join a supportive online community, anytime, anywhere
Hundreds of young people are already using the app to share stories, support each other, and find resources.
“My experience with the FosterClub app is amazing.
Connecting with other young people who get what it’s like to be in foster care and being part of this community is unique and exciting.”
--Ashlyn, Community Member
“I waited a long time to be able to meet other kids like me. It's a really great opportunity for me to get to learn everybody else's experience and just be around people who are inspiring, motivated, and young.”
— Janiyah, Community Member
A Legacy of Innovation and Support
Since FosterClub first launched in 2000, we’ve been partnering with young people who are leading the way in creating spaces for support, resources, and connection. This app is our latest innovation—but it’s built on a long history of listening to and partnering with young people in care.
These are just a few of the many milestones along the way—there have been countless moments, big and small, that have shaped FosterClub into what it is today. And now, we’re celebrating another huge step forward with the launch of our new online community!
