Upcoming Event:

Don’t miss the “Brighter Side of Foster Care” workshop

Nearly 30,000 kids in the U.S. foster care system could “age out” this year. Let’s join forces to help them. Join us at this one-day event in the Denver area which will:

Share the latest in what helps youth successfully transition out of foster care
Help you generate new ideas –– and then translate those ideas into action plans
Help you guide youth to build lifelong connections that can ultimately help them in the Real World
Teach you how to empower young people to succeed
Put agencies face-to-face in a structured setting so you can learn from each other about what’s working
Provide you the opportunity to meet with community leaders who can fight for change

These kids can benefit from services received BEFORE they leave the child welfare system. And that’s where you come in –– YOU can positively impact the future of these youth who will be on their own if they’re still wards of the state once they reach legal age.
