    Former Foster Youth Transforming The System

    The National Foster Youth Institute trains, mobilizes, and lifts up thousands of foster youth voices to partner with local, state, and federal decision makers to transform the child welfare system through policy and program reforms. NFYI builds and strengthens relationships with community partners on shared agendas for change and inspires transformative change in the LA child welfare system. NFYI will pilot an LA Shadow Day event for former foster youth to see firsthand how local policy works and to share their stories with decision makers.
