YOU HAVE THE RIGHT

To Live A Normal Life

You deserve to have a safe place to live, to see friends and family, to get medical care, and so much more.

You have the right to know everything that should and shouldn’t happen while in foster care.

And That’s Exactly Why We Created FosterPower

GET TO KNOW US

YOU HAVE THE RIGHT

YOU HAVE THE RIGHT

To Feel Connected

You might feel like no one can relate to what you’re going through.

That’s why we created the FosterPower Youth Video Series — featuring people who have been through foster care.
