Show Notes
The Childrens Aid Society of Alabama launches its annual grad bag campaign to support high school seniors aging out of foster care. The goal is to raise $20,000 statewide to provide each senior with a suitcase filled with essential items for their future. This initiative aims to empower these teens, who are three times less likely to graduate high school and forty percent more likely to become homeless after leaving the system. The program has significantly boosted graduation rates, with participants graduating between 63% and 69% in recent years. Donations can be made through the campaign, which runs until March 31st.
