The Crisis Is Too Big For One Of Us. It Is Not Too Big For All Of Us.

JOIN THE TRUFOSTER MOVEMENT

No one person can meet every need. But every person can bring what they have-their business, their influence, their time, their relationships, or their resources and do their part well.

We're not all called to do the same thing,
but we are all capable of doing something.

Jason Johnson, Everyone Can Do Something

The question is not whether you can play every role. The question is: What is yours?

WE CAN CHANGE THE STORY AT BOTH ENDS OF THE FOSTER-CARE CRISIS.

Upstream, we strengthen families before separation. Downstream, we build stability
and protection for young people during and beyond foster care.

UPSTREAM

Prevent Separation

170,943

children entered U.S.
foster care in FY2024.

55%

of entries
involved neglect.

Poverty is not neglect. But
unstable income, housing, food, child care, and  transportation can push families toward crisis.

QUALITY WORK CAN HELP BUILD THE STABILITY THAT KEEPS FAMILIES SAFELY TOGETHER.

Economic insecurity is linked to 3-9x higher maltreatment rates. A S1 minimum-wage increase was associated with 9.6% fewer neglect reports.

TRAFFICKING PIPELINE IS REAL. MEANINGFUL WORK, RELATIONSHIPS, AND COMMUNITY CAN HELP INTERRUPT IT.

Among those youth, 79% said trafficking occurred immediately after a child-welfare placement.

of foster-connected youth in a federal high-risk study reported or had records of trafficking.

young people exited foster care through emancipation in FY2024.
