Austin Foster Fellowship is a blog created by students at St. Edward’s University to advocate and inform others about the foster care system in Travis County. As we continue our research on the current system, our team intends to find improvements that can be made on the current situation based on evaluations made from different counties in Texas.

As we set forth on the endless journey of foster care development, we look for any route towards progress. We, Austin Foster Fellowship, will support and educate the community as we work for a life the children deserve. Our goal is to create an honest, vulnerable, and empathetic environment for the benefit of our local foster kids.
