The "Use Your Skills Project" empowers students to leverage their unique talents, passions, and skills to advocate for and benefit children in foster care or youths aging out of the foster system as they transition to adulthood.
By harnessing their creativity, compassion, and expertise, students can create impactful projects that provide support, resources, and opportunities for these vulnerable individuals to thrive.
