Our Work

Amplifying young voices
for maximum impact.

Youth Voices Rising teaches young people with foster care and justice system experience how to share their stories.

Educating caregivers to best support the kids in their homes.

Fostering Families Today magazine provides kinship and professional caregivers with the resources and expert advice they need.

News and analysis on critical issues facing families.

The Imprint is a national news outlet serving leaders across the child welfare and youth justice field, from caseworkers to policymakers, as well as the general public.

Special projects include a podcast network, investigative reporting and annual data on foster care capacity.

Check out SafeCamp Audio, Who Cares: A National Report on Foster Care Capacity and single-topic magazines we publish.

As a platform, The Imprint is a springboard for bringing attention to the social and cultural issues influencing, affecting and striking child welfare. There are many things we don’t see in child welfare, whether they are hidden from view or we simply choose not to see them. As both a reader and contributor to this publication, I salute their role in keeping our eyes open to what impacts the most important members of our society: children.
