In the Press - South Carolina Foster Care

Raising Awareness Through Media

The South Carolina Youth Advocate Program (SCYAP) is committed to raising awareness about the needs of children in South Carolina foster care through strong media outreach and press engagement.

We work with:

  • Journalists

  • News outlets

  • Online media platforms

Our goal is to highlight the challenges children in foster care face and to share the urgent need for caring foster families.

SCYAP uses:

  • Press releases

  • Interviews

  • Feature stories

These efforts help:

  • Shine a light on the realities of foster care

  • Clear up common misunderstandings

  • Share hopeful success stories of children finding safety and stability

By using the power of traditional and digital media, SCYAP helps spread the word and encourages more people to get involved and make a difference in a child’s life. 💙
