| What
is CYC: |
There
are now 22 active chapters of CYC in California
with over 250 members, ages 14 to 24. CYC
is a youth-run organization that provides
invaluable opportunities to learn leadership
skills. CYC youth put on two statewide conferences
per year to discuss state level legislative
and local issues we want to work on; we also
organize a Day at the Capitol to educate legislators
about foster care issues. |
|
Why CYC
is important: |
CYC
gives us a voice to speak about foster care.
No one can be clearer or more articulate about
how the foster care system has worked for--or
against--us. When we tell our stories, people
listen. |
|
Who is CYC: |
California
Youth Connection is an advocacy/youth leadership
organization for current and former foster
youth. We are young people,
who because of our experiences with the child
welfare system, now work to improve foster
care, to educate the public and policy makers
about our unique needs and to change the negative
stereotypes many people have of us.
