You have heard the voices of current and former foster youth. Now you can make your voice heard, too.

• Write to Congress and let your voice be heard! Tell them to pass important legislation that will improve life for over 513,000 kids in the foster care system.

• Learn more about urgent federal foster care reforms. Visit the Kids Are Waiting: Fix Foster Care Now web site: www.kidsarewaiting.org.

• Tell your Senators and Representatives it's time to act:
  • Call your federal legislators and let them know that you are concerned about youth in foster care, and that now is the time for reform. Ask them to view the My Story page, and watch the youth video messages.

• Give youth a voice. Support young people in your community. Become a mentor, create a youth group, or volunteer with a youth who needs someone to lean on. You will make a difference.
