WACF Commitment to Racial Equity

WACF recognizes racial equity as a priority in preventing families from entering foster care, improving the disproportionality of foster families and reducing the number of youth of color in group care. We are dedicated to advocacy and policy and practice improvement that eliminate racism within the child welfare system. Our members recently voted to update WACF bylaws to more clearly state our shared commitment to racial equity:  https://wachildrenandfamilies.org/wp-content/uploads/WACF-Bylaws-1.19.21.pdf.
