Why are allies included as members?
We know that our allies have an expertise about residential care gained through their own experience, a passion for improving the lives of youth and alumni/survivors, and a respect for the voices of people in and from care. We also know that our allies frequently share the experience of feeling isolated, and that they need a community where they are valued and have opportunities to take action. Our allies often have information and resources that wouldn’t otherwise be available to us. By working together, we increase our knowledge and strength, we enhance our credibility, and we truly make a difference.
