FosterClub's Outstanding Young Leader Award

 

FosterClub’s Outstanding Young Leaders award recognizes incredible young people whose brilliance and strength makes a big impact in their communities. 

 

Not only does the award provide a major resume boost to deserving young advocates, it changes the stigma of foster care by celebrating and elevating positive stories. 

Our Outstanding Young Leaders are the role models young people from foster care need and deserve. The recognition of this award amplifies their impact to ignite the next generation of lived experience child welfare changemakers.

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.
