Our Mission

Our mission is to get books with foster care representation into the hands of kids in foster care.

​

Foster Book Club, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, is a community-driven organization in San Diego that provides an online resource for kids in foster care to find their next favorite books and discover stories that reflect their journeys. Foster Book Club also organizes book collection drives for foster family organizations and advocates in San Diego.

 

Our team is dedicated to promoting literacy and providing positive literary experiences for children in foster care. We believe in the power of storytelling to inspire, educate, and empower these young readers. Through the magic of books, we want to make a difference in the lives of kids in foster care.

The founder of Foster Book Club, Nico Waters, is a foster care literacy advocate, children's book author, and former foster mom. Seeing the delightful effects that books had on the child she fostered---and noticing the challenge of finding books that are inclusive to kids in foster care---inspired her to start Foster Book Club.
