| Your gift of: | Goes directly to: | And has a huge impact on foster youth: |
|---|---|---|
| $2,500 | Training 60 foster youth on how to tell their stories to powerful legislators in a way that gets results. | Youth testify at hearings and win passage of new laws that expand their rights such as access to education and health care. |
| $1,000 | Training 15 new foster youth leaders on how to plan and facilitate meetings and how to recruit more youth across their state. | More foster youth join the group, learn that they DO have the power to make positive change in the system, and begin to speak up and organize. |
| $500 | Helping a small team of youth organize a public education “Speak-Out” to talk about what it’s like to live in the foster care system. | Community members attend, the local news runs a story and quotes the youth, and thousands of readers learn about foster youth’s experiences for the first time. Youth are energized to do more. |
| $250 | Supporting youth in Indiana, Oregon, Mississippi and Virginia to go to California to attend a policy conference put on by the experienced foster youth organizers of California Youth Connection. | Youth feel part of a powerful foster youth community for the first time, and come back with lots of ideas for how to create their own recommendations for policy changes. |
| $100 | Making videos of 3 foster youth for our website. | The videos reach a national audience and people are inspired to take action to help foster youth across the U.S. |
