Get involved!

Whether you have had a great experience or a not-so-great experience in foster care, your voice is valuable! If you are a caring adult interested in working in partnership with youth, we would like to hear from you, too.

Youth and adult partnerships are possible and powerful! 


YLAT youth and positive adults work together with respect and purpose. By joining YLAT and participating in different ways, young people can learn, grow, and ignite powerful reforms. When young people share their experiences in the foster care system with child welfare and community leaders, systems can become more responsive to their needs.  Click HERE to learn more about how you can get involved!


In the end, all youth in care can enjoy what every child deserves: a family, a bright future, and a chance to be part of something larger than themselves.
