Description

The Mockingbird Society's Youth Programs bring together youth and alumni of foster and kinship care from across Washington State to provide advocacy and leadership training, build connection and support for one another, and build young peoples' confidence and skills as changemakers in their communities. Youth Programs creates a quarterly publication called The Mockingbird Times, which includes poetry, writings, and personal stories accepted from young people across Washington state. Mockingbird provides stipends for participants, and Mockingbird Times contributors are paid for their work.
