Transform Child Welfare

Family Voices United is a national partnership between FosterClub, Generations United, and the Children's Trust Fund Alliance. Together, we share a commitment to transforming child welfare by centering lived experience.


By combining real-world expertise with the reach of our national partners, we produce a richer, more impactful body of work, one that reflects the realities of children, youth, and families and drives meaningful policy and practice change.


Family Voices United lifts up lived experience, strengthens community connections, and informs decision-makers so that child welfare is understood and improved through the voices of those most affected.
