The Congressional Coalition on Adoption Institute (CCAI) is a Washington, DC-based organization dedicated to working towards every child having a safe, nurturing, and permanent family. Through their signature programs, such as the Foster Youth Internship Program, CCAI aims to educate, advocate, and raise awareness about the needs of children without families. They bring together policymakers, issue experts, and individuals with direct foster care or adoption experience to address the challenges faced by children in the foster care system.
With a focus on National Adoption Month and Veterans Day, CCAI honors both veterans and foster youth interns who have served or are serving in the military. They provide a platform for these individuals to share their experiences and advocate for the thousands of youth in the foster care system. CCAI's programs, including the Foster Youth Internship Program, help participants gain knowledge and skills that shape their future goals and plans, while also raising awareness about important issues within the child welfare system, such as LGBTQ rights and foster care.
