Strength Based Community Change (SBCC)

Dylan has shown remarkable resilience and motivation throughout her journey, as a current foster youth, she was overcome so much. Currently attending beauty school at Monarch while also taking online classes at College of the Canyons, she is dedicated to building a career in cosmetology and pursuing her passion for beauty and self-expression. Despite facing emotional challenges stemming from past relationships and personal hardships, Dylan continues to stay focused on her goals and demonstrates strong self-awareness and growth, especially through her engagement with therapy and her education. She enjoys learning new techniques such as lash lifts and brow lamination, reflecting her creativity and commitment to mastering her craft. Dylan’s determination to maintain independence—seeking her own housing and balancing work with school—shows her maturity and drive for stability. Her warmth, openness, and perseverance make her a standout individual who continues to move forward with purpose and strength.

Dylan is requesting an alarm clock to help her stay organized and on time as she balances beauty school, college classes, and part-time work. With her busy schedule and early mornings, having a reliable alarm clock would support her in maintaining consistency and structure as she continues pursuing her cosmetology goals. Throughout her foster care journey, Dylan has shown great responsibility and determination to build a stable, independent life. This small but meaningful tool would help her stay focused, manage her time effectively, and continue showing up for herself and her future every day.
