The Toolkit can help you:

• Learn: Educating yourself and others about foster care is the first step to spreading awareness. Reflect on key messages and statistics, and use them to start conversations with those around you. You’ll hear from FosterClub’s National Foster Care Month influencers — all young people with lived experience in foster care — throughout May!
• Advocate: Unless child welfare has personally impacted them, the average American likely doesn’t think much about foster care. There are common misconceptions that young people from foster care are all “bad kids” or that they are completely taken care of by the government. You can help the public understand foster care and commit to improving the lives of its young people with our social media graphics, zoom backgrounds, and proclamation guide. You can also order merch from our National Foster Care Month store to propel your advocacy efforts.
• Give: Giving to FosterClub has a direct, meaningful, positive impact on the lives of young people in and from foster care. Because we put young people from foster care in the driver’s seat in child welfare reform, we have a unique understanding of their challenges and needs. National Foster Care Month is a perfect time to support young people from foster care by making a gift to or fundraising for FosterClub today.
