Child Welfare
Children and youth in foster care deserve to grow up in safe, stable, and loving homes. We work to transform California’s child welfare system so all kids in care have nurturing families and access to quality education and health care. In collaboration with young people with lived experience in foster care, we advocate for the systemic changes they need to flourish both while in care and long after.
