Description
All my life as a kid not one of my life’s transitional challenges were explained to me. I never felt like I had an outlet to talk about the things I was experiencing as a child before and after foster care. I didn’t feel like it was safe to share with others that I was a foster kid, I mean after all, I was still trying to figure out what was happening. The only thing I was focused on was SURVIVAL and staying out of the way.
Youth Led is designed to help middle school youth to transition through their challenges and obstacles with a education and leadership curriculum, community service projects, problem solving, critical thinking and fundraising events that will allow them to gain positive exposure and be an influence to others.
