But - the application deadline is FEBRUARY 15th.
The FosterClub All-Star program provides young people age 18-24 with skills to be leaders and advocates.
This year long position includes a summer internship, including 10 weeks in Seaside, Oregon. The 12 young people selected to serve as All-Stars will have the opportunity to travel the nation, speak and train their peers in foster care, and participate in public awareness and policy activities.
Part 1: Application
The All-Star application must be completed online. This application may require up to two hours to complete.
To help youth prepare, FosterClub has provided downloadable Word and PDF versions of the application. They strongly encourage youth to download a practice application, review the questions, and write out practice essay questions, which they can then use to copy into their application.
Incomplete applications will not be accepted, so youth are encouraged take their time in reviewing questions and to allow adequate time to complete the entire application:

Part 2: Recommendations: A youth application is not complete without two recommendations.
The people youth choose to provide a recommendation will be asked to rate their leadership skills and any other qualities that would make them a good candidate to become an All-Star. Recommendations should not be from friends or relatives.
Here's the link for adult recommendations: (Please note that the deadline is in FIVE days!!)
