12. We can do this!
• We believe our organizationwill make a welcoming
difference in the community. Many post-foster care youth
struggle to lead productive lives due to homelessness, lack
of education and job training, and support from the public.
This is our opportunity to make an impact for our youth
who have a bleak outlook on the future. Let us make a
difference for our community and the future of the world.
