Part 3 - Line 4a
COMMUNITY SUPPORT - TOGETHER WE RISE HAS MANY PROGRAMS THAT BENEFIT CHILDREN IN FOSTER CARE AROUND THE UNITED STATES. OUR GOAL IS TO MAKE THE TRANSITION IN FOSTER CARE EASIER FOR THE CHILDREN WHO ARE IN THE SYSTEM. SINCE CHILDREN IN FOSTER CARE ARE TYPICALLY GIVEN 2 TRASH BAGS TO TRANSPORT THEIR BELONGINGS, WE TRY TO GIVE THEM OUR SWEET CASES INSTEAD. A TOGETHER WE RISE SWEET CASE IS A BRIGHT BLUE DUFFEL BAG STUFFED WITH A TEDDY BEAR, A BLANKET, A HYGIENE KIT, A COLORING BOOK, AND CRAYONS, PARTICIPANTS AROUND THE UNITED STATES WILL DECORATE THE SWEET CASES, STUFF THEM, AND THEN DONATE IT BACK INTO THEIR COMMUNITIES TO BENEFIT CHILDREN IN FOSTER CARE IN THEIR AREAS. THIS IS OUR BIGGEST PROGRAM, AND IT IS GROWING EVERY YEAR!
FOSTER CARE SUPPORT: OUR MISSION NECESSITATES THAT WE INVEST MUCH OF OUR TIME AND LIMITED RESOURCES IN COLLABORATION WITH COMMUNITY PARTNERS. THIS BRINGS RESOURCES TO AND IMPROVES THE LIVES OF AMERICA'S FOSTER CHILDREN IN ALL 50 STATES. OUR CHALLENGING BUT REWARDING TASK INVOLVES THE TWR TEAM WORKING WITH HUNDREDS OF FOSTER AGENCIES, SOCIAL WORKERS, COURT APPOINTED SPECIAL ADVOCATES (CASAS), AND OTHER PARTNERS AS WE USE OUR LIMITED RESOURCES TO BENEFIT FOSTER YOUTH ACROSS THE NATION.WE COORDINATE THE DELIVERY OF GOODS AND SERVICES TO FOSTER KIDS THROUGHOUT THE UNITED STATES. WE ALSO SPONSOR FOSTER/ADOPTION FESTIVALS, LEARNING ACTIVITIES TO EDUCATE VOLUNTEERS ON ISSUES, AND ANY AWARENESS ACTIVITY FOCUSED ON YOUTH IN FOSTER CARE.
TRANSITION SUPPORT - WHEN CHILDREN IN FOSTER CARE AGE OUT OF THE SYSTEM, SOME OF THEM DON'T HAVE THE RESOURCES TO TRAVEL TO SCHOOL, WORK, OR THEIR HOMES, MOST YOUTHS THAT HAVE AGED OUT OF THE SYSTEM ARE LEFT WITHOUT ANY MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION, SO TO FIX THIS, TOGETHER WE RISE DONATES BIKES TO CHILDREN IN FOSTER CARE. WE HAVE PARTICIPANTS ACROSS THE UNITED STATES HOST BUILD A BIKE EVENTS WHERE TEAMS USE TOOLS TO BUILD BIKES AND THEN DONATE THEM BACK INTO THEIR COMMUNITY. PARTICIPANTS CAN CHOOSE BETWEEN 3 SIZES OF BIKES SO CHILDREN OF ALL AGES CAN BENEFIT FROM THIS PROGRAM. TOGETHER WE RISE WANTS TO ENSURE THAT CHILDREN IN FOSTER CARE HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO EXPERIENCE CHILDHOOD BY GETTING TO OWN SOMETHING AS SIMPLE AS A BIKE. WE PARTICULARLY WANT TO HELP OLDER CHILDREN WHO ARE CLOSE TO THE AGING OUT AGE SO THEY ARE ABLE TO ATTEND SCHOOL, GET TO THE GROCERY STORE, AND FIND EMPLOYMENT WITH A RELIABLE TRANSPORTATION METHOD.
