The Foundation is very proud to support the Youth In Care Newsletter Project. This is a very successful program the agency initiated in 2000.

This project provides a youth centered environment in which the participants improve their ability to express themselves verbally, in writing, and through drawings and illustration, resulting in the publication of their very own Newsletter.  This alternative education model provides opportunities for significant school credit, while developing both life skills and employability skills and developing a sense of self-expression and self-worth.  The content of the program consists of five modules:

1. Creative Self-Expression: Laying the Ground Work

2. Developing an Emotional Vocabulary and Identifying Key Messages

3. The Art of Interviewing and the Building Blocks of Writing

4. Writing articles and Group Decision Making

5. Web Training

If you are interested in volunteering or finding out more about this worthy endeavor, you will find contact information on the Youth In Care Newsletter website at - www.youthnewsletter.net .
