Three new videos talking about Families First Act, Iowa Aftercare Services and needing more families for teens feature the voices of AMP youth who were part of the Casey Cohort to bring awareness to issues foster youth face in Iowa.

The young people behind these videos know what works and what doesn't. They are brave to speak up and ask for change. If something is working, they say that too. What an honor to work with Iowa youth to make the system better. Thanks to AMP and Child and Family Policy for doing these videos.
