1999 Collective

The 1999 Collective is a community of foster care alumni and allies. We work to ensure that Utahns who experienced foster care after age 13 are given resources, connected and supported through early adulthood and beyond. We contribute lived expertise to Utah's foster care community. We aim to maintain an organizational structure where power and decision-making is foremost held by those with lived experience in foster care, but not place the burden of work solely on those with lived experience. We encourage allies and partners to join together to collectively improve the well-being of our foster care alumni community.
