Every year, 30,000 youth age out of foster care. . Source: ifoster . When youth age out of foster care, that means they've reached adulthood and can no longer remain in foster care. However, when you're in foster care and then must leave, who is there to take care of you, to help you get on your feet, to teach you the skills needed to live on your own, to land a job, to know how to pay bills, to manage your time, to navigate relationships? Where will you stay? How do you gain... access to a place to live? When were you taught this during your time in foster care, and what resources do you have once you must venture out into the world alone? . Yess4Youth supports youth who have aged out of care and who have experienced homelessness by providing housing, life skills training, resources, and emotional support from caring adults. .

Can you believe it's almost Thanksgiving? We are a little more than a month away from Thanksgiving. We, along with Because One Matters @Becauseonematters have been busy planning for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Although the world continues to struggle through this global pandemic, we must all continue to focus on our mission. . For us at YESS4Youth, that mission is helping to prepare young adults in the Metro Atlanta area for future success. We do this by providing affordable ...and stable housing, teaching practical life skills, and connecting young adults to an identifiable support system. . With our 4th Annual Home for the Holidays program, we aim to brighten their life by providing full course meals, holiday decorations, and gifts. . Many of these young adults do not have families to share the holidays with. This program's mission is to ensure that each young adult in our program experiences a wonderful holiday in their own home. . As we continue to deal with uncertainties due to COVID-19, we are committed to offering this program this year, as so many in our program look forward to it. To ensure the health and safety of our young adults, their children, and all of our volunteers, we have decided to make a few changes to the program this year. . With safety as our top priority, Chef Michelle Gary of @2 Girls_ n_aGrill will be catering the Thanksgiving and Christmas meals. This is a big change from previous years in which volunteers donated ingredients and helped us prepare the meals. . We are asking for your help this year. Please consider a monetary donation to help us cover the cost of the meals, decorations, and gifts so that we can provide an unforgettable holiday experience for our 9 young women, 10 young men, and 2 parenting mothers in the YESS4Youth program. . With your help, we can make this holiday season a success and deliver an experience much as you have with your family in your own home. Click the link in our bio to give.
