We are a team of former foster youth, case workers, foster-adopt parents, and child welfare career veterans from across the US, committed to changing the way child welfare shapes the lives of children and families. 52% of the team has direct lived experience in or close proximity to foster care – as former foster youth, birth parents, foster parents, adoptive families, or kin caregivers. Individuals across our team also have personal lived experience in many of the life-altering outcomes we aim to disrupt.
