By supporting The Mockingbird Society this spring, you are supporting the work we do creating and advocating for racially equitable, healthy environments that support young people experiencing foster care or homelessness. Together, we can transform systems and change the culture.
2021 was an exciting year for Mockingbird: Our
Policy and Advocacy Team had a historic year
during the state legislative session with wins like
HB 1219; our extended-family foster care model,
MOCKINGBIRD FAMILY™, partnered with Oxford
University and expanded across the U.S. and the
globe; and former Mockingbird Youth Advocates,
like David Buck, returned as staff.
The Mockingbird Society’s mission is to transform foster care and end youth homelessness.
Working in partnership with young people who’ve lived through the systems we’re transforming, we change policies, perceptions, and practices that stand in between any young person and a safe, supportive, stable home.
