October is the month we have been highlighting that young people involved in foster care should have an active role in decisions that impact their lives.

Young people with lived experience bring insight that can help shape better policies, practices, programs, and communities.

Let’s continue to create space for their voices—and listen to what they have to say.

Make a daily commitment to celebrate the youth voice, lived experience, leadership, and advocacy.

Listen. Amplify. Include. đź”·

🗣️ There is power in lived experience.

Foster youth bring knowledge and perspective that can’t be replaced by statistics, policies, or assumptions.

During Foster Youth Voice Month, we’re recognizing the young people who speak up, share their experiences, advocate for change, and help create better systems for those who come after them.

Listen to foster youth. Believe their experiences. Make room for their leadership.

🎤 Foster Youth Voice Month

Young people with lived experience in foster care deserve more than a seat at the table—they deserve to be heard, respected, and included in the decisions that affect their lives.

This month, we’re celebrating the voices, experiences, ideas, and leadership of foster youth. Their stories matter. Their perspectives matter. Their futures matter.

Let’s listen. Let’s learn. Let’s make space.

10/16/2026

This month—and every month—we celebrate young people who use their voices to share their experiences, advocate for change, and help shape a better future for others.

Nothing about youth should be decided without youth having a voice!

🌿 Indigenous Peoples’ Day

Today, we honor and celebrate the rich cultures, histories, traditions, resilience, and contributions of Indigenous peoples.

For Indigenous children and youth in foster care, maintaining connections to family, community, culture, language, traditions, and tribal identity can be an important part of knowing who they are and where they belong.

Every child deserves to grow up with meaningful connections to their identity and heritage. For children experiencing foster care, those connections can be especially important during times of transition and uncertainty.

Today, we recognize the importance of listening to Indigenous voices, honoring cultural identity, supporting family and community connections, and ensuring Indigenous children can maintain meaningful ties to their heritage.

Culture is connection. Identity is belonging. Every child deserves both. đź’š

📣 Make room for youth voices.

Not just this month.
Not just when decisions are being made.
Every day.

Foster youth have valuable perspectives, ideas, and experiences that deserve to be heard and respected.

10/07/2026

This Foster Youth Voice Month, let’s move beyond simply asking young people what they think.

Let’s listen to their experiences.
Let’s include them in meaningful decisions.
Let’s act on what we hear.

Authentic youth voice means creating opportunities for foster youth to shape the policies, programs, and communities that impact their lives.

🎤 Youth voice isn’t an add-on. It’s essential.

🍎📚 Happy World Teachers’ Day!

Today, we celebrate the teachers who do so much more than teach lessons—they create safe spaces, build confidence, recognize potential, and remind children that their future is full of possibilities.

For children and youth in foster care, a caring and consistent teacher can be especially meaningful. School can provide a sense of stability during times of uncertainty, while a trusted educator can be someone who notices when a child is struggling, celebrates their accomplishments, and makes sure they know they belong.

To every teacher who shows up with patience, compassion, and encouragement: thank you for being part of a child’s village. ❤️

Your words can inspire.
Your consistency can provide stability.
Your belief in a child can make a lasting difference.

Today, we honor you and the important role you play in helping every child—including children in foster care—feel seen, supported, and capable of achieving their dreams.

Happy World Teachers’ Day! 🍎 Tag an amazing teacher!
