Achieving Maximum Potential
“Nothing About Us Without Us”
Achieving Maximum Potential (AMP) is Iowa’s Foster Care Youth Council that meets in Councils throughout the state. AMP seeks to unleash the full potential for personal growth among Iowa’s foster youth ages 13-22. Together, we provide opportunities to build life and leadership skills while advocating for positive change to Iowa’s child welfare system.

AMP SUCCESS STORIES
In AMP our goal is to empower youth to use their voices to improve the child welfare system while helping them learn and strengthen skills that lead to success. Check out some of our AMP Alumni Stories and celebrate their growth and success!
Who we are:
AMP is for youth ages 13-23 who are currently in foster care, been adopted from foster care, or are involved in any other type of out-of-home placement. We are Iowa’s Foster Care Youth Council and meet as local Councils throughout the state.
What we do:
AMP provides youth a safe and fun place to meet with their peers to learn leadership skills, life skills, resources, and connections that will help them as they step into adulthood. AMP also impacts direct change to Iowa’s child welfare system through advocacy and education. Check out our Legislative Program for more information.
