A coalition of community based organizations and public agencies, the Foster Youth Alliance seeks to assure the well being and empowerment of foster and probation youth by engaging in strategic advocacy to develop resources, provide for continuous improvement of programs, and maintain accountability in publicly funded service systems.  

FYA's major project work seeks to increase access to mental health services, develop the capacity of older youth to engage in meaningful advocacy, and leverage our web presence to provide for community education and continuous program improvement. 

FYA’s over 30 member agencies work with current and former foster and probation youth in a full spectrum of domains and program settings, providing support in areas including housing, mental health, education, employment, mentorship, and permanency.
