Who we are:
Foster Youth Advocates is a student organization that focuses on supporting the foster youth population on campus and in our local community. We provide resources and volunteer opportunities to raise awareness of this hidden population and support them as they seek higher education opportunities.
What we do:
Some volunteer opportunities we have done and are looking forward to are preparing meals for foster families, and helping at a Friendsgiving event held in a foster community. We will be working with DHS to provide childcare during monthly meetings and are hoping to plan a campus tour for those who have experience in the foster care system.
How you can help:
Through your donations, we can establish a community for the foster youth in Payne County by preparing meals, providing childcare and mentorship, as well as support their transition into higher education.
