"Lose|Survive|Live" "The Mockingbird Society stands for reflective and diverse foster parents." "Hotels and offices aren't the best place for foster children. Group homes aren't either." " #WhyIMockingbird"

The Mockingbird Society’s mission is to transform foster care and end youth homelessness. We create, support, and advocate for racially equitable, healthy environments that develop and empower young people at risk of—or who are experiencing—foster care or homelessness. Working in partnership with young people with lived experience, we change policies and perceptions standing between any child and a safe, supportive and stable home. We envision each young person, regardless of race or individual experience, reaching adulthood with an equitable opportunity to thrive.
