At Angels we are confident our experience caring for young children in foster care provides us the ability to make a meaningful contribution to the subject of racial inequity and discrimination in our communities. We also know that there's always room to grow, and we are constantly trying to be better and do better.
Moving forward, you can rely on us to be an informative resource for materials that guide and support how to begin, carry on, and follow-up on conversations with children of all ages concerning racism and discrimination. We are working to compile the best resources we find and will post them here, continually updating this page as we find new, appropriate, and helpful information.
If you have suggestions for articles, podcasts, or other learning opportunities as they relate to children, please feel free to share them with us in the form below or on any of our social media channels.
