Meet the 2023 Outstanding Young Leaders

Who are the the Outstanding Young Leaders?

FosterClub’s Outstanding Young Leaders recognition program recognizes incredible young people whose brilliance and resilience makes a big impact in their communities. These young people embody leadership and service, and make a difference by advocating for their peers in foster care.

Each Outstanding Young Leader Award winner receives a $500 scholarship for education or personal development. Winners are invited to become members of FosterClub's Lived Experience (LEx) Leader network. Our 200+ members have ongoing paid service opportunities to partner with FosterClub to support their peers in foster care and to help improve the system.

Outstanding Young Leaders are celebrated on FosterClub's website and social media channels throughout the month of May, in recognition of National Foster Care Month.


“The Outstanding Young Leaders scholarship helped me maintain stability to continue through the difficult early stages of my education.”

-- Levi S., 2022 Outstanding Young Leader Award Winner
