Why Personalized Advocacy Matters

From the front desk of our Foster Youth Resource Concierge

Approaching 18 is like looking over the edge of the world's tallest roller coaster. Now add in turning 18 while in the foster care system and you might feel like you forgot to put on your seatbelt! That's where having personalized support makes a huge difference in reaching your goals and planning your future. At Speak Up For Kids PBC, we know that everyone’s journey is unique. That’s why personalized advocacy through our Foster Youth Resource Concierge (FYRC) is key. To refer yourself or someone you know to our concierge program, please fill out the referral form here.

Building a Trusting Relationship

One of the coolest things about personalized advocacy? The trust you build with your advocate. We're not just here to provide a service. We're your advocate, guide, and cheerleader all rolled into one. Our job is to listen and support you every step of the way. As we work toward building that trust, it makes opening up about your concerns and dreams a whole lot easier. Because hey, you've got a dedicated ally in your corner!
