This organization is jam-packed full of amazing teens who are or were foster children. They have lived the life of a foster child and are there to support and encourage other foster children in dozens of ways. As their "about us" page opens:
"FosterClub is the national network for young people in foster care....
Every two minutes, a child’s life changes as they enter the foster care system. Currently, there are over 513,000 young people in foster care in across America. FosterClub is their club — a place to turn for advice, information, and hope."
On their site www.fosterclub.org ---
-- your foster teen can take a survey and maybe win a iPod!
--they can read about and be inspired by 100 outstanding foster kids who were recently honored
--they can explore lists of famous people who were once foster children [from Ice-T and Eddie Murphy to Dr. Ruth and Dr. Wayne Dyer]
There is so so so much more. There is also information for grownups, stats on foster care, and lots of help. This is a great online place for your kiddos to start to hang out! Check it out. Spread the word.
