Advocacy

Selfless Love Foundation advocates for current and former foster youth. We advocate for policy changes and practice improvement to streamline the foster care adoption process and improve self-sufficiency outcomes for transitioning youth.

We believe each of us has a role in enhancing the lives of children and youth in foster care. We work with child welfare agencies across the state, state leadership, legislators, adoptive families, and former foster youth to create change for children in care today and for generations to come.

Here’s how.
Thanks to Selfless Love Foundation’s generous supporters

We work with child welfare professionals, youth with lived experience, and legislators to drive policy changes.

Meeting with Leaders
We meet with heads of state and high-level officials, policymakers, families, and child welfare specialists to create and improve policies that promote adoption and permanency.
Including youth in the conversation

Foster youth and alumni across the state are provided opportunities to enhance their leadership skills and use their voice to make a change in the foster care system. We invite them to attend annual leadership summits and youth voice seminars.

Awareness Campaigns

Selfless Love Foundation is committed to educating the public, increasing awareness about the needs of youth in foster care, and encouraging action with national and statewide campaigns. Selfless Love Foundation founded Foster Youth Voice Month and leads the national campaign to elevate youth voice every October. Selfless Love Foundation spearheads the National Adoption Month campaign in Florida each November.

The work Selfless Love Foundation does through advocacy creates change for foster children not only today, but for generations to come.
"During my time in foster care, I was moved 5 times. This instability really impacted my education and well-being. It was hard for me to make friends in school while always being the new kid and it was difficult to adjust to new people, places, and expectations every time I was given up on. I am so grateful to be part of the OVI Youth Voice Movement. I get to use my lived experience to influence policy changes to improve placement stability."
