This amount will help FYA members travel to an off-site service project with a community agency in our area. We volunteer with foster care and child service agencies to support the great work they do!

Former foster youth are considered a "hidden population" on college campuses. This donation amount will help FYA purchase promotional materials to get the word out to our Cowboys with experience in foster care that there's a place for them in our organization!

FYA likes to provide meals in our meetings whenever possible. Not only is community built around a shared meal, but it also helps meet a physical/felt need for our members. This donation amount will help us order a group meal for an FYA meeting

FYA members are eager to learn from others about how to best support their fellow students with experience in foster care. This learning can occur through conference attendance, meeting with experts in our area, reading together, and more. This donation amount will allow us to pay for educational materials for our members so that we can better understand and serve members of the Cowboy community who identify as former foster youth.

FYA has to cooked meals that can be frozen and later provided to fostering families through Lions Meadows of Hope when a new foster child joins a family. We are eager to continue to do this and other events to promote positive experiences for current foster youth. This donation amount will allow us to run more events and projects, providing our members with opportunities to lead and give back.
