  • The #1 need reported by foster youth during this crisis is the technology to communicate.
  • Over 40,000 foster youth in California can no longer attend school, visit with social workers, therapists and extended family.
  • Over the past 3 weeks, iFoster has delivered over 5,000 devices to ensure our young people are connected.

If you are a foster youth in need, know a young person, or can help us rise to the challenge of ensuring ALL foster youth can communicate, you can reach us at support@ifoster.org.
