So wait, what is FosterShip?

 Founded in 2014, FosterShip aims to address the chronic disconnectedness of Foster Care organizations stemming from under-funding in the system. These organizations, tasked with providing direct care, advocacy, education, and health services to our most vulnerable children, are burdened by heavy caseloads and are forced to spread their budgets thin. 

FosterShip sends top talent (our Graduate School Fellows) to organizations that otherwise wouldn't have the funding for enough manpower to solve the Foster Care system's deeper issues. In turn, our Fellows are a part of a broader effort to raise awareness when they return to their communities inspired to drive change on a systemic level. The result is a win-win situation where we build the leadership pipeline at FosterShip so that the next generation of leaders is equipped to tackle the sector's unique challenges.

They've identified the challenge and found an exciting, viable solution. Now, we have the opportunity to help make it a reality.
