Foster Youth Graduation

OPEN HOUSE

 

Celebrating such an accomplishment is something no young person should have to do alone. Join us in helping these graduates celebrate this great achievement in their lives!

Date Sunday, May 17
Time 3:00–4:30 PM
Location 3233 Blairs Ferry Rd, CR

Did you know there are approximately 700 children in foster care in Linn County, Iowa? And did you know that only about 50% of youth in foster care graduate from high school? This Open House Celebration is a meaningful way for our community to honor these students and celebrate their incredible accomplishment. Everyone in the community is invited to attend and help recognize the perseverance, hard work, and determination of these graduates.

WANT TO BRING A GIFT?

We recommend graduation cards and gift cards to places like Target, Amazon, local restaurants, or movie theaters to help support their next chapter.
