Foster Youth in Action (FYIA) was founded in 2008 by foster youth organizers and supporters with California Youth Connection (CYC). Built on this foundation and a legacy of youth-led organizing, FYIA is now powered by an international network of over 20 local foster youth-led groups across the U.S. and Canada organized around a shared commitment to creating radical change.

We know that youth in foster care who join with their peers to change the system increase their sense of hope, heal from trauma, gain confidence, and build skills that are essential to life and career. At FYIA, we work directly with these young leaders, and with the groups that serve them and we’ve got an incredible track record. Our national network -now 25 grassroots groups in 20 states and provinces -reaches hundreds of thousands of current and former foster youth. Please support the young people, the work we are committed to and our grown impact!
