Voices for Children’s “Real Word” is comprised of youth and young adults who currently live or have lived in foster care after being abused, neglected, or abandoned by their parents or care givers. At their presentations, The Real Word panelists are open and forthright about their experiences in foster care, such as what it’s like to move from home to home, how it feels to be separated from siblings, and how they coped in the face of adversity. The Real Word panel is trained and supervised by Voices for Children and they’ve spoken both locally and nationally about life in the dependency system, and have been inspired by the caring support of the volunteer Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) assigned to them by Voices for Children.
