How We Work

As a nonprofit organization our success is based solely on what we can raise through fundraisers, sponsorships, and donations. These contributions plus our drive to help enrich them allow us the opportunity to host these events for our future leaders, the youth.

How We Work

  • Fostered Youth (all ages)
  • Both Genders
  • Foster youth aging out
  • Homeless teens

    • Mission

    Just Who I Am, Inc. mission is to restore families impacted by the foster care system through holistic, trauma-informed, culturally responsive services and advance prevention initiatives that foster and sustain healthy, violence-free communities. The success of our organization is based solely on what we raise through fundraisers as well as sponsorships that allow us the opportunity to hold events with our future leaders.

    Goals

    As a new organization, we have started out by providing safe, fun, and educational spaces for the youth to come and express themselves and know that they are not confined by the situation that they were born into. 

    We have hosted:

    ·       Toy Drive

    ·       Baby Material Giveaways 

    ·       Fashion Show 

    ·       College Workshops 

    ·       Feeding the homeless

    ·       Sneaker Ball

    ·       Back to school Giveaways 

     

    MORE GOALS

    However, the goal is for Just Who I Am. Inc. to be able to house foster youth that have aged out of the foster system and have nowhere to turn. As the president, I have seen first-hand the need for housing to prevent homelessness.

    Housing Plan:

    ·       Housing 

    ·       Finical literacy 

    ·       Workforce Development 

    ·       Clothing Opportunities

    ·       Wraparound service if need 

    ·       Child Care Service for Mothers and Fathers
