Youth in Florida had no way to get information on their benefits, protections, and legal rights in foster care —
You deserve to have a safe place to live, to see friends and family, to get medical care, and so much more.
You have the right to know everything that should and shouldn’t happen while in foster care.
You may have a lot of questions in foster care and not know who to ask.
Do you have to change schools when you move? Can you go to court? Do you get a say in anything?
You might feel like no one can relate to what you’re going through.
That’s why we created the FosterPower Youth Video Series — featuring people who have been through foster care.
FosterPower is a movement to improve the lives and futures of youth in foster care by creating access to information on their benefits, protections, and legal rights. FosterPower is a program created and managed by Bay Area Legal Services.
FosterPower provides information on the benefits, protections, and legal rights of children in Florida’s foster care system and does not include opinions. FosterPower is a non-partisan and independent project that is not affiliated with a government agency or organization. FosterPower is updated frequently, but you should always verify the law independently to ensure it is current.
