Honoring our foster youth

In  June, 80-90 Ventura County foster youth, ages 17 and older, will be honored at the annual Milestones event held at Cal State University, Channel Islands.  The Milestones event recognizes the achievements that these youth have accomplished throughout the past year. Many of the honorees will be graduating high school, and others will have completed another semester in College, moved into their first apartment or reunited with a family member. Along with guests and community sponsors, about 250 people are expected at this invitation-only event. Milestones is a community event that is funded entirely by donations from individuals, agencies, businesses, and churches in Ventura County.  100% of all donations go to fund the event and provide prizes and awards for the honorees. Donations can be made at the Milestones website at www.milestonesvc.org.   For more information on becoming a Milestones community supporter, please contact Cristina Miranda at [email protected].
