The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) and the Children’s Bureau value the input of youth who have lived experience in the foster care system. The ACF Youth Engagement Team was developed in 2020 to use the expertise of youth formerly in foster care to identify key recommendations for the ALL‐IN challenge and state and federal efforts toward achieving permanency for all children and youth waiting in foster care. This team of young adults provided specific recommendations on how agencies and courts could improve permanency outcomes by supporting connections with kin, securing relational permanency for youth, and achieving successful adoptions for older youth.
