Join FCAA today! We need YOUR voice and expertise. Our power as a collective voice, a supportive community, and an agent for change depends on YOU.

We estimate that there are 12 million alumni of foster care and 800,000 foster care professionals in the United States.

- Can you imagine the changes we'll make in Washington DC when even a small percentage of us get together?!

- Can you envision how your own life and work will be improved by being part of a giant extended network of people who have this shared mission?

Whether you participate by cheering on the efforts of alumni and our allies from behind-the-scenes, or you become a star volunteer, it really matters that you're here.

Whether you are an alumnus or an ally, please join FCAA!

FCAA has two goals: Connecting Today and Transforming Tomorrow.

Connecting the community of alumni:

- We are building a permanent community for all of us.

- We are creating ways that we can be a network of support and extended-family for each other.

- We are creating opportunities to talk about and take action on both the challenges and the victories that are part of foster care.

- We are changing the culture of foster care.

Transforming the foster care system:

- We are transforming foster care practice and policy.

- We are educating professionals and care providers.

- We are influencing laws.

- We are changing the stereotypes.
