our top 10 priorities

1. Listen to us.
2. Don’t break up families so fast.
3. We want to have a family.
4. We want to stay connected to our brothers and sisters.
5. We need safe, affordable housing when we leave care.
6. Residential placement should be a last resort not a first placement.
7. Help us succeed educationally. Make sure everyone leaves care with at least a High School Diploma or GED certified.
8. Help us get career counseling, access to counseling and life skill training.
9. Don’t make decisions without us.
