In 2009, FosterClub.com was rebuilt from the founda7on up using the same kind of Web 2.0 design and technology used by Facebook and other social networking sites.

Youth Engagement Building a youth website is only part of the equa7on. The real work is driving young people to a site so that it’s used.  One advantage of FosterClub.com is that it already draws young people:
