Foster Opportunities

All our opportunities are open to Fosters (those with experience in out-of-home placement, regardless of how they exited foster care) who currently live in MN. Any age limits are listed next to upcoming events.

Empower and Thrive: Foster Resource Fair

We are so excited to the FIRST Foster college resource fair in the state, hosted at Minneapolis College! This event is open to any Foster, no matter where you are on your college journey - just dreaming, ready to apply, or in school and looking for resources and peer connections!

Travel support provided to all those who preregister by 10 am on June 10th. Free food and prizes provided to all who attend!

What can you do at the fair?

  • Be in community with other Fosters! Hear from our College Ambassadors about their journeys after high school

  • Get help filling out your FAFSA and learn about ETV and FIG

  • Speak with local colleges to hear what they can offer to you, and get help applying to any public MN colleges

  • Learn about community resources and Foster-serving organizations in the Metro

Help Shape the Soundtrack for MN Fosters!

Our MN Promise committee is crowdsourcing TWO PLAYLISTS from MN Fosters of all ages! Help us gather the best songs to represent MN Promise and to support Fosters still in care. Fosters can submit up to three entries per person and be entered into a gift card drawing.

🔹Submit your empowering anthems for the MN Promise playlist!
