Uniting to
Transform Child Welfare
Family Voices United is a national partnership between FosterClub, Generations United, the National Alliance of Children’s Trust and Prevention Funds, and Casey Family Programs. Together, we share a commitment to transforming child welfare by centering lived experience.
At the heart of this work is the Lived Experience Advisory Board (LEAB), a team of 20 experts with firsthand child welfare experience. Their insights are fundamental, shaping every aspect of Family Voices United. By combining their 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.
