Our mission

We’re working with experts from across the country to identify and document practical, scalable strategies for improving child welfare. Everything in this playbook comes from our growing community of child welfare practitioners — whether it’s tips for improving background checks or resources for finding family members.

This playbook is designed specifically for you to copy these ideas. (Seriously, you don’t need to ask us – just take whatever you find useful!)

This playbook is the result of a collaboration between states at the cutting edge of child welfare and New America’s Public Interest Technology team, in partnership with Foster America and Think of Us.
