Mission
Our mission is to lead the efforts of young people in and from foster care to become connected, educated, inspired and represented so they can realize their personal potential and contribute to a better life for their peers. As the national network for young people in foster care, we believe that they deserve to be: CONNECTED to a peer support network and to people in the community who care EDUCATED about their rights, how the foster care system works, self-advocacy strategies, and how to locate resources to help them succeed INSPIRED and empowered through the stories of people who have succeeded after foster care REPRESENTED by having their voices heard by policymakers, the public, and others who influence the system that profoundly impacts their lives

Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Youth Programs: Outreach
On www.fosterclub.com young people in foster care are asking questions and finding answers. The organization's primary communication vehicle, the website serves as a hub of information relating to foster care, including articles, message boards, contests and stories. It's a resource available to youth 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Youth Programs: Lived Experience (LEx) Leaders
Young people with lived experience in foster care are the foundation of FosterClub. Our programs provide opportunities for resilient young people -- who are determined to be successful -- improve the odds for others coming up through the system, and provide a youth voice to help change the face of foster care.
Youth Programs: Training and Education
FosterClub's training events are held across the country and feature the FosterClub All-Stars, a dynamic group of foster care alumni. Teaching through their life experiences, the All-Stars serve as peer educators and role models to other foster kids. They also train child welfare profesionals and caregivers by sharing their first-hand youth perspective.
System Change
Young people who have lived experience in foster care deserve to have input about how the child welfare system can be improved to better serve them and their families. Our public policy team works to build the capacity of young people to meaningfully participate in conversations and activities with policy makers and child welfare stakeholders to promote improved outcomes for themselves and their peers.
