FosterClub All-Star Internship Applications Due Feb 20

The FosterClub All-Star program was founded on the belief that youth who have successfully transitioned from foster care to responsible young adulthood are best suited to impact the transition of their younger peers. Young leaders between the ages of 18-24 who are interested in leveraging their own experience to improve the foster care system are encouraged to apply for this seven-week summer internship. Travel is included, as well as a weekly stipend and an end-of-session stipend of $1500 for each All-Star.
