STUDENTS SPEAK UP FOR KIDS
Encouraging ‘Student-led’ project-based advocacy benefiting foster kids. STUDENTS Speak Up For Kids empowers students with opportunities to serve and speak up for the children involved in Palm Beach County's dependency court system.
This spring has been PACKED for STUDENTS Speak Up for Kids. Here are a few highlights:
- Two big wins for our chapters: Our Boca Bobcats chapter won the volunteer contest by the Great Charity Challenge and earned a grant! Then, our Spanish River chapter won a grant from BeWell PBC to facilitate their Pen Pal Project. We are so excited for the future of these chapters and all our chapters in general.
- From Valentine's Day knitting boxes to cozy blanket drives to cards & fidget toys, our chapters made sure kids in foster care felt loved, comforted, and excited this Valentine's Day.
- Three of our chapters AND one student volunteer group (Service & Social Society) hosted booths at our annual Storybook Village this March. From Winnie the Pooh to the Giving Tree to Willy Wonka, these students went above & beyond to create fun, memorable experiences for youth in foster care.
