National Foster Youth Institute
Reshaping Workplace Narratives Around Trauma through a Foster Youth Lens
National Foster Youth Institute will scale employer understanding of foster youth women, trauma, and caregiving, to reframe workplace culture through lived experience, engagement, and evaluation.
Foster youth have experienced abuse, neglect, or family separation. Many - particularly girls and young women - don't achieve permanency and age out of care, transitioning into the workforce without support, intergenerational financial assistance, or reliable caregiving networks. Yet little has been done to help employers understand these barriers.This campaign will reframe how employers understand foster youth women and trauma by elevating lived experience, providing new narrative tools, and catalyzing culture change to benefit workplaces overall.
