Building a world-class foster care system through collaboration, innovation and advocacy

At The Mockingbird Society, we believe a world-class foster care system is possible. We believe we are getting closer every day.

We strive to bring about change by engaging foster youth and foster families in developing and improving public policy. We have created new programs; programs like Youth LEAD, the Mockingbird Times and the Mockingbird Family Model - that improve the current and future lives of foster children and their families and ensure their voices are heard.

Our approach for positive change includes:

• System reform of public policy and legislation
• Creation of a new foster family service model, and
• Involvement of foster youth and caregivers in advocating for reforms
