| Summary: | Our systems are failing the potential and future of young people who experience foster care or homelessness. The Mockingbird Society is working to change that. Using its youth-adult partnership model, Mockingbird develops young people who have experienced foster care or homelessness into leaders and advocates who develop and advance policy reforms. Mockingbird's youth advocates safely share their experiences as they advocate passionately for a brighter future on behalf of each and every foster and homeless youth in Washington. Mockingbird also created and is implementing MOCKINGBIRD FAMILYTM around the world. This empowerment-based approach to delivering foster care has been proven to be more effective at supporting foster parents and providing significantly more stability for youth than traditional systems. |
