WELCOME!

California Youth Connection (CYC) is guided, focused and driven by current and former foster youth with the assistance of other committed community members.  CYC promotes the participation of foster youth in policy development and legislative change to improve the foster care system, and strives to improve social work practice and child welfare policy. CYC Chapters in counties throughout the state identify local issues and use grassroots and community organizing to create change.
