Introducing Cohort 3

Please join us in welcoming 18 incredible Foster America fellows to our third cohort!

Foster America Cohort 3 Fellows

On January 7th, 2019, they started full-time, 18-month roles at child welfare, health and human services, and early childhood agencies nationwide that will use their skills to help keep more children safely out of foster care and improve the outcomes of children in foster care.

These talented fellows have expertise in human-centered design, program development, strategy and operations, data analytics, engineering, and finance.

We can’t wait to share more. Watch the intro video on YouTube, and follow us on Twitter for an introduction to one fellow each week throughout spring 2019.
