Each year, thousands of children in San Diego and Riverside Counties spend time in the dependency system (commonly known as foster care.) At no fault of their own, their lives are turned upside down, and they enter a world of new homes, new schools, court hearings, and more. Luckily, there are organizations in our community dedicated to supporting these kids every step along the way. As National #FosterCareMonth draws to a close, we are embarking on a Week of #FosteringKnowledge. Each day, you will meet a local organization that serves youth in foster care and learn about different aspects of the system from their perspective. Follow Voices for Children, Children's Advocacy Institute, San Diego Center for Children, Riverside STAY, and Walden Family Services so you don’t miss a post.
