I apologize to anyone that is getting this and is not in the Washington Metropolitan area.  I keep thinking I will go thru my database and fix that but there is always something else to do.

 

Annually, Foster Care to Success (formerly Orphan Foundation of America) awards 100 new scholarships to college-bound foster youth from all across the country.  The process is competitive; as we seek to award the young people we believe will succeed at college with the outstanding supports provided by FC2S – mentoring, care packages, internships and more. 

 

The heart of each student's application is their essay, where they describe where they came from and where they hope to go. 

 

We need essay readers!  If you're available any time between April 23 and May 11, we would love to have you participate in this valuable, moving volunteer experience.

 

If you are able to come in that would be great.  We are here Monday through Friday from 9am to 5pm.  Also, if you have a group (5 or more) that wants to do this we can bring the essays to you.

 

Let me know if you are interested and we will get you signed up!

 

Thanks!
