Housing supplies for Calli to attend the Foster Youth Internship Program in Washington, D.C.
Posted Mar 15, 2018
Calli was accepted into the 2018 Foster Youth Internship Program in Washington, D.C. This is a highly esteemed, life-changing youth empowerment program for young adults who have spent their formative years in foster care, offering them the opportunity to intern in a Congressional office for the summer. CCAI provides full service, wrap-around care throughout the internship. However, Calli will need the essential housing supplies such as bedding, toiletries, a dining set, cooking supplies, and Tupperware to name a few.
Calli is 31 years old and lives in OH
Calli was in the foster care system in the state of Ohio and is a graduated student of Regent University, where she gained a degree in International Studies with a focus in Law, Ambassadorship, Child Advocacy, Language, and Economics and a minor in Psychology. Her prior experience with Doucet & Associates Co., LPA has lent to an awareness in the due process of legislation which will be critical in the Foster Youth Internship (FYI) Program.
