Creative Expression CONTEST: What Family Means to Me. Win $100!

This contest is closed. You are invited to enter FosterClub's CREATIVE EXPRESSION contest! Art, poetry, music, essays - and any other creative outlet - are encouraged that capture the theme: "What Family Means to Me". For young people in foster care, family connections can be difficult. Some young people have been separated from family or have strained family relationships. Some foster youth are looking for family connections - either finding relatives or seeking an adoptive family. And other young people may be seeking to repair or strengthen family relationships - with siblings, grandparents, or biological parents. We want your creative expressions about your own experience with what family means to you! Win up to $100 for your work! Read more
