Magical May is National Foster Care Awareness Month, a month set aside to recognize foster youth, volunteers, mentors, child welfare professionals, and other community members who help children and youth in foster care find support and resources that they need to succeed.

Foster Expo: Empowerment & Mental Health

Our goal is to strengthen and improve awareness and identity. Youth should be given the opportunity to develop their talents, skills and enhance their quality of life. Our hopes is that Foster Expo will uplift and inspire youth to explore new horizons. We want our youth to utilize all the resources that we have to offer in order to be successful in life. Try imagining youth who are college graduates, employed, housed and enlightened rather than incarcerated, emotionally distress and homeless. This is their opportunity to network, learn and have some FUN.

Shoutouts

We take pride in sharing the accomplishments of former foster care youth. Shoutouts shine a spotlight on foster care youth graduating from a four-year university in California.

Interviews

Foster care youth have a variety of experiences growing up. Interviews give current and former foster youth an opportunity to share their experience in the foster care system.

We are not conducting Behind The Magic (BTM) interviews this year. We will start back up next year 2020!
