Our vision is that every child in foster care feel important, cared for, and deeply loved. We firmly believe the well-being of these 400,000+ traumatized children improves when communities make an intentional effort to better understand and address the significant, emotional pain of the children in their midst. Our mission is to find and develop child advocates who care deeply about the emotional well-being of children living in foster care, provide these individuals and organizations innovative, "great ideas" that address the children's concerns, and measure the impact on each child.
