Community Service Project - Meeting this Sabbath
There is a Fostering Hope Ministry info meeting THIS Sabbath, Feb. 23d. from 8:30-noon @ Crossroads Community Church, 1221 Calle Suerte in Camarillo. Fostering Hope is a mentor program aimed at the approximately 1,000 children currently living in foster care in Ventura County. Fifty to ninety of these foster children will “age out” of the foster care system annually (reach the age of 18). A mentor can assist a foster youth during the transition from being in a foster care system that often makes decisions for them to making their own decisions about finding a job, managing finances or finding an affordable place to live. Without a mentor, many of these young people will end up in the state correctional system. As a mentor you commit to spending two to three hours each week with your young adult. You can find out more about this rewarding opportunity at http://www.actionvc.org/fosteringhope.php or contact Joyce Thomsen at October5@aol.com.
