Kate,
There is a sweet, funny 10-year-old boy in Sequim in our programs. He loves Pokemon and the Seahawks...and he's been moved five times in the last two years: to grandma, reunified with
dad, licensed foster home, aunt, and now reunified with mom. His whole family has fought and worked hard to keep him close and in his community.

He recently told one of his Love Box volunteers "even though I've been in foster care, at least I know I'm wanted..." This volunteer has repeatedly told him "foster care does not define
you..." and it's sunk in. 💫
The group of Love Box volunteers has been right beside this boy through all of the changes and heartbreak. They have been consistent, healthy, and loving adults seeing him through
it all. They have fundamentally changed the way he has experienced foster care.
This Love Box is one of only two Olympic Angels volunteer groups in Clallam right now - in a place where the need for community support for children in foster care is among the highest
in Washington state.
Community-supported foster care is vital, and we are seeking a Clallam County-based Case Manager <https://olympicangels.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=1ab0b8a5f8b2dedbe21154575&id=c9ef3c1041&e=e
bf67a8bc7> that will change outcomes for kids in foster care and activate a community to radically support caregiver families.

We know these things about the foster care community in Clallam County:
* Children in Clallam County are experiencing higher and more extreme rates of neglect and abuse when compared to other communities in Washington.
* And Clallam has been identified as one of the top four locales across the state with the Highest Baseline Rates of Child Maltreatment <https://olympicangels.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=1ab0b8
a5f8b2dedbe21154575&id=190af2c3d6&e=ebf67a8bc7> . This is all within an area that is low in services and foster homes and high in poverty.
* Clallam County has a much higher rate of calls to Child Protective Services (CPS) that are screened in when compared with other counties in the state.
* For the data nerds among you, the filing rates per 1,000 calls to CPS from Clallam County is 7.83% compared to 1.66% of calls in King County (Seattle) <https://olympicangels.us4.list-manage.com/tr
ack/click?u=1ab0b8a5f8b2dedbe21154575&id=8a9b29a589&e=ebf67a8bc7> . Simply said, this means that, when calls are made to CPS about suspected abuse and neglect, the State decides to put
a child in foster care at almost FIVE times the rate in Clallam County vs Seattle. 🤯
This is where YOU come in, Kate
We know good people know good people. We are expanding west into a territory we do not have connections. But our people do. Please take a minute to think about who you know in Clallam
