Our mission is to protect the rights of children in poverty and those overcoming abuse and neglect. By delivering free legal services, supportive programs that create pathways to education and jobs, advocacy, and systemic solutions, the Alliance levels the playing field and ensures that children who experience foster care are able to fulfill their potential.

Phones for Fosters currently provides free smartphones and unlimited data through T-Mobile to older youth at risk of aging out of care.
We focus on helping foster youth and young adults pursue studies and careers in the growing world of cybersecurity.
