We are taking the Foster Youth Voice Movement across the United States!
Selfless Love Foundation empowers youth with lived foster care experiences to share their stories. Our youth leadership program – One Voice Impact – creates a safe space for young people to use their voices to impact policies and programs now and in the future.
One Voice Impact is leading the Selfless Love Foundation’s initiative to make foster youth voices heard across the country.
