Mission

The mission of The Mockingbird Society is to transform the foster care system and end youth homelessness through youth advocacy and the development and implementation of an innovative foster care delivery model.

About

Mockingbirds Youth Programs is a powerful, state-wide coalition of young people aged 13-26 who have experienced - or are experiencing - foster care and/or homelessness. The program focuses on youth leadership development, civic engagement, system reform and educating the public on foster care and homeless youth issues. In 2019, over 300 youth and young adults participated in activities such as local chapter meetings, leadership trainings and community engagement projects. There are seven chapters; two in Seattle, and one in Tacoma, Everett, Olympia, Yakima and Spokane. Each chapter's youth are actively engaged in shaping an annual systemic reform agenda. Youth meet regularly with policymakers, participate on issue work groups, speak at community forums and offer creative ideas to improve child welfare and homeless youth systems based on their own experiences.
