Foster Greatness welcomes current and former foster youth and anyone who has been impacted by the foster care system. You don't need to be currently in care—if you experienced foster care at any point in your life, even years ago, you belong here.

No proof is required to join our community platform. However, some specific programs or opportunities may require verification of lived experience in foster care.

Absolutely! We love our advocates and continually invite them to join our community, panels, and discussions. We believe in creating collaborative spaces where we can learn from one another.

Simply create your account through our website or download our app from the Apple Store or Google Play. No referral or case manager approval needed—just sign up and you're in!

We offer comprehensive one-on-one resource support tailored to your unique journey. Our Resource Specialists help with:

• Scholarships and educational support
• Housing assistance and crisis funding
• Basic needs and emergency support
• Resume reviews and job placement
• Career development and interview prep

After creating your account, you can request to speak with a Resource Specialist through our app or website. Our specialists are available during business hours and will respond within 24-48 hours to schedule a conversation.

Foster Greatness does not provide direct cash payments. However, we partner with organizations that can support financial needs and provide guidance on scholarships, grants, and other funding opportunities.

Our partnership with Staffmark Group provides comprehensive career support including resume building, mock interviews, career advisors, job placement assistance, and access to a secure job board within our app.

We host quarterly community building events, learning workshops, advocacy events, healing circles, open-mic nights, paint nights, panel discussions, and cooking sessions. All events are designed to create spaces where you're seen, celebrated, and reminded that you're not alone.

Our "Thriver Stories" podcast amplifies the voices of those who have been through the foster care system, sharing their journeys and advocating for change. Community members can participate by sharing their stories.

Foster Greatness is powered by DGW Branded, our social enterprise arm. Every product sold through DGW Branded directly funds our transformative programs, creating a sustainable model where business success equals social impact.

DGW Branded isn't just our funding source—it's the heartbeat that powers Foster Greatness. When businesses choose DGW Branded for merchandise, they're investing in scholarships, job training, and lifelong support systems for foster youth.
