Empower Foster Youth: Join Us This October!

 
 
 
 
 
 
 

October is Foster Youth Voice Month

 
 
💛 October is Foster Youth Voice Month — a time to honor the life change made possible through your support, highlight the courage of foster youth using their voices, and bring awareness to those who may not know about the realities of foster care.
 
Aaliyah is a shining example of what happens when foster youth are given hope and opportunity — she is breaking generational cycles of child abuse, homelessness, human trafficking, and exploitation by using her voice for change. Watch this short video.
 
Join us this month in supporting more youth like Aaliyah as they share their stories, shape their futures, and lead with hope.

Regional Campus Expansion

 
 
Big things are happening at Place of Hope! Did you know we now have five thriving campuses across Palm Beach and Martin Counties? Three are experiencing tremendous growth, and two are receiving exciting new refreshes — all thanks to the bold vision of our "God’s Children. Our Future." Campaign.
 
Your generosity is fueling exponential growth across our campuses — from our Leighan and David Rinker Campus in Boca Raton, to our Bender Family Campus in Stuart, our flagship Paxson Campus, our Donna’s Place at The Villages in Palm Beach Gardens, and our Sam & Connie Frankino KidSanctuary Campus in West Palm Beach. At the same time, our statewide initiatives are now reaching hundreds of thousands annually, while we continue to build a healthy endowment for the future.
