Mission
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.
We believe that young people in and from foster care 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.
Vision
We envision a day when every young person who experiences foster care has what they need to thrive.

We believe Experience = Expertise
Being placed in foster care can be a chaotic and anguishing experience for a young person.
FosterClub is dedicated to providing a peer support network for children and youth in foster care. Further, we believe that the experiences young people have in foster care place them in a position to affect change within the system, inform and motivate their peers, build public awareness and create
FosterClub is about providing youth a voice within the system that so heavily impacts their lives. Whether advocating on their own behalf, in concern for siblings or family members, or speaking out on behalf of their 400,000+ peers currently in the system; our websites, publications, and events provide a youth-friendly network which helps the voices of young people to be heard.
FosterClub is committed to providing the tools, training and a forum to help young people secure a brighter future for themselves and the foster care system.
