Uniting to
Transform Child Welfare
Family Voices United is an impactful collaboration between FosterClub, Generations United, the National Alliance of Children’s Trust Fund Alliance, and Casey Family Programs to deepen a shared commitment to transforming child welfare. Together, we’re building on the impactful work of the Lived Experience Advisory Board (LEAB), centering the voices of those with firsthand experience in the system. By uplifting these perspectives, we aim to shift how child welfare is understood and shaped ensuring policies and practices reflect the realities of those most affected. Through this partnership, we work to inform external partners, strengthen community connections, and drive change that’s rooted in real-life expertise.
