Tools for Success: Resources to Thrive
Overview
At FosterED Connection, we believe that success is not just about education but about having the right resources and support network to thrive. Foster children often lack access to the tools they need to succeed, whether it’s a laptop for school, proper interview attire, or even a suitcase to call their own. We work to bridge that gap and provide them with the material support they need for academic and personal success.
Key Resources Provided:
Laptops and Technology: We provide foster youth with laptops and other necessary technology to support their educational needs, from schoolwork to job applications.
Suitcases and Personal Items: Many foster children move from home to home with only a plastic bag for their belongings. We provide sturdy suitcases filled with essential personal items to give these children a sense of dignity and stability.
Interview and Work Attire: For youth preparing to enter the workforce, we offer professional clothing and guidance on dressing for interviews and jobs.
Study Materials and School Supplies: From backpacks to textbooks, FosterED ensures that every child has the materials they need to succeed in school, regardless of their living situation.
Mentorship and Networking Opportunities: We connect foster youth with a network of mentors, industry professionals, and advocates who provide career guidance, internships, and other opportunities to help them transition into adulthood.
Why It Matters:
These essential tools provide foster children with a tangible sense of support and security, empowering them to succeed academically, socially, and professionally. Providing access to these resources helps close the opportunity gap for foster youth who might otherwise lack these necessities.
