Our people are the heart of Foster America. Our teammates possess track records of operational success, seasoned management experience, and deep knowledge gained in and beyond the child welfare sector. We pride ourselves not so much on what we know but how we work, leading collaboratively with empathy and agility.
Our mission: Together with communities, Foster America transforms systems that serve children, youth, and families by innovating for a more just, equitable future.
Foster America’s 2023-2026 strategic plan will accelerate and amplify our impact. Our new strategy integrates lessons gathered across six fellowship cohorts. It also represents our response to an unprecedented opportunity for systemic change in service of children, families, and communities and in pursuit of a more just, equitable world.
In 2026, Foster America marks a decade of building an alternative to a child welfare system rooted in crisis—and proving that families thrive when support comes early, with dignity, and led by community.
