About America's Kids Belong

America’s Kids Belong is dramatically improving experiences and outcomes for kids in foster care. We focus in three areas: 1 - Recruit and retain more foster and adoptive parents to ensure a family for every child. 2 - Equip communities, businesses and faith communities to become Foster Friendly to ensure a Foster Friendly community for every family. 3 - Create coalitions for change across government, business and faith to bring hope to every community. Imagine being a young child whisked out of your home by strangers. It’s a traumatizing reality for 400,000+ kids in the U.S. foster care system. With just half the needed foster homes, children get shuffled from placement to placement, made to feel like they don’t belong. And for the 26,000 kids who age out without a family, outcomes are dire. The America’s Kids Belong team of 50 includes two former foster youth, 150+ foster placements and 34 adoptions. We “live the mission,” and lean into our lived experiences to infuse empathy and wisdom into our work. Our mission is to dramatically improve the experiences and outcomes for kids in foster care. A healthy family is the most powerful way to do this. Our three investment areas seek to ensure: * A family for every child. We recruit foster/adoptive parents through public awareness and our I Belong Project, a video storytelling initiative that amplifies voices of adoption-eligible kids in care to match them with families. Our 2,500 videos have helped 900+ kids find adoptive families. * Foster-Friendly communities for every family. We equip communities – businesses, faith and community groups - via our Foster Friendly App to offer discounts, services, support and encouragement to help families foster longer and stronger. The App has 8,500 users and 1,500 offers so far. * Hope for every community. Our trusted relationships with child welfare enable us to coalesce these same community partnerships to drive sustainable change in foster care.
