The support is also extended to carers and families of cancer patients - this includes children who have a sibling or parent suffering from cancer.

Our mission is to lead the efforts of young people in and from foster care. We believe that those from foster care deserve to be: CONNECTED to a peer support network and to people in the community who care. EDUCATED about their rights, the foster care system works, self-advocacy strategies, and how to locate resources to help them succeed. INSPIRED and empowered through the stories of people who have succeeded after foster care. REPRESENTED by having their voices heard by policy makers, the public, and others who influence the system that profoundly impacts their lives. With programs designed to support our mission, FosterClub empowers foster youth to improve their futures and the futures of those still in care.
