What if families had support they wanted, when and where they needed it? What if child protective services rarely intervened – because parents and children had support well before a crisis?’
We can achieve this reality by:
DRIVING INNOVATION
Alongside our nation’s boldest governments and communities, we are demonstrating new approaches to serving families – approaches that prevent child welfare involvement by providing the support families want, when and where they need it. Foster America offers at-the-elbow support to leaders who share this vision, embedding with sites that are ready to design, implement, and scale solutions.
DEVELOPING CHANGEMAKERS
Foster America identifies promising leaders across communities who see the need for child welfare reform. We support their professional and personal growth, developing their skills and connecting them to our broader network to amplify our collective impact. We support like-minded leaders so they can apply their experience to move systems- change initiatives forward.
DISSEMINATING KNOWLEDGE
Innovation can spread only if we learn and work together. Foster America is dedicated to cultivating, sharing, and scaling knowledge as we learn what works. Together, we enable a continuous exchange of insights, successes, and even failures – all with the goal of opening pathways to support children and families without triggering the intervention of the child welfare system.
