Housing supplies for Terrence to attend the Foster Youth Internship Program in Washington, D.C.
Posted Mar 15, 2018
Terrence 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, Terrence will need the essential housing supplies such as bedding, toiletries, a dining set, cooking supplies, and Tupperware to name a few.
Terrence is 34 years old and lives in ID
Terrence was in the foster care system in the state of Idaho and is a junior undergraduate student of Boise State University, where he is pursuing his degree in Social Work with a focus in Sociology, Gender and Sexuality Studies, and Communication and a minor in Family Studies. His prior experience with Foster Youth and Alumni of Idaho has begun his journey in advocating for foster youth which is an important aspect of the Foster Youth Internship (FYI) Program.
