Housing Supplies for Isabelle to work for the Foster Youth Internship Program in Washington DC
Posted May 26, 2022
Isabelle is recent graduate who was hired as support/live in staff for CCAI’s 2022 Foster Youth Internship Program in Washington, D.C. For 20 years, the FYI Program has been a highly esteemed, life-changing youth empowerment program for young adults who have spent their formative years in the U.S. foster care system. The program offers Foster Youth Interns the opportunity to intern in a congressional office and become published authors of a federal child welfare policy report. To help make this program an impactful experience for the interns, CCAI provides full service, wrap-around care throughout the internship. Isabelle needs essential dorm housing supplies such as bedding, towels, toiletries, and detergent in addition to other miscellaneous living supplies, and will deeply appreciate this support!
