Meet the 2025 Outstanding Young Leaders
FosterClub is proud to introduce the recipients of the 2025 Outstanding Young Leader Award — 50 incredible young people with lived experience in foster care who are being recognized for their leadership, service, and the positive change they are creating.
These young leaders remind us that lived experience is powerful. Their voices, strength, and vision are shaping stronger communities and driving meaningful change.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to our sponsors, the Walter S. Johnson Foundation and the Discovery Land Company Foundation, whose generous support makes this recognition possible.
Why These Awards Matter
The Outstanding Young Leader Award shines a spotlight on the contributions of young people in and from foster care. It is a chance to recognize their achievements — from mentoring peers and volunteering locally to influencing policy and speaking on national platforms.
