Foster Advocates

Mission

Foster Advocates was founded in 2018 to address the lack of advocacy organizations working to improve the foster care space in Minnesota.

Our work is grounded in a bold idea: child welfare systems change could be, and should be, led by the people most impacted. Over the past three years, our organization has grown to a team of five and connected with Foster leaders across the state, shifting the Minnesota child welfare landscape in significant ways.

We believe that the people closest to the problem are the closest to solving it. Your support will help us organize and develop the leadership skills of Fosters, so that they can advocate with those in power, influence policy, and participate in research — all in order to improve outcomes for our greater community.
