Every youth deserves a fighting chance
CLAN enables care leavers to become care leaders by ensuring they have the support, skills, and networks to thrive in adulthood with dignity and independence.
Turning the last step out of care into the first step toward freedom
When young people leave child care institutions, they often face the world alone, without family, safety nets, or guidance. Care Leavers’ Advocacy Network walks beside them in this critical transition, providing the tools, opportunities, and advocacy they need to build a life of stability, dignity, and hope.
Education
From school completion to higher education, we remove accessibility and systemic barriers so care leavers can keep learning.
Employability
Connect care leavers to vocational training, job placements, and skill-building programs that open doors to meaningful and sustainable livelihoods.
Psychosocial support
Access to counselling, peer support, and self-help programs so care leavers can heal from past trauma and strengthen their mental resilience.
Aftercare advocacy
We champion policies and programs that protect care leavers’ rights, amplify their voices, and ensure every youth has the safety net they deserve.
