Upcoming Projects
Here comes National Foster Care Month..
Get Involved to help change the foster care system.There are 513,000 kids living in foster care across America. Now young people are banding together to make a difference for their peers who have suffered abuse, neglect, or abandonment.
People are thinking about ways the foster care system in America can be improved. One way would be to change the rules about how your state can spend federal money on kids in foster care. One thing we know for sure: your voice is needed to make people listen. Your story could change the way people look at the foster care system — and the kids in it. Foster Parents and youths need to come together. Write congress to make foster care a national priority.
Why your voice matters
Every two minutes a child enters the foster care system. There is not a minute to waste. We must improve the foster care system for our peers. It’s critical for the the future of our generation and for the future of America.
Foster Parents also need support because they are not getting it from the foster care agencies.
Foster Parents and youths, both in and out of care, are being recruited to raise public awareness around the issues of foster care and to advocate for the resources needed to improve the system. FPA Foundation Inc engages foster parents and young people to take action in ways to help improve life for children in foster care.
Upcoming Projects
Life Book project
Foster Youths will participate in our Life Book project that will express how they feel about their experiences in foster care. They will work with an artist to create books about their lives, and display these books throughout the community.
Recruitment
We will be working to recruit foster parents & youths to become members of FPA.
The Forgotten Children's Calendar
FPA will be working with foster care agencies to promote awareness and recruit new foster parents. The calendar will showcase youths in foster care that are freed for adoption and need permanent homes.
