Facing Foster Care in Alaska
Our Mission is to improve the foster care
system through sharing our experiences, supporting and educating youth
and social services and implementing positive change in society as a
whole
About
Us
Facing Foster Care in
Alaska (FFCA) is a group of current foster youth and
alumni that has formed to make improvements to the
foster care system in Alaska.
Guidelines for
FFCA membership -- youth currently in care, age 15
and older, are eligible. Youth must be willing to participate in
the advisory board, and must want to work on improving
the foster care system for others.
Alumni are those
youth ages 18-24 and currently out of care who were in
legal out-of-home placement through the Office of
Children’s Services sometime during their youth.
Members meet quarterly in their regions.
