College Bound: The JIT Mission is Mobilized on June 19!
On Saturday, June 19, the Just in Time extended family came together to give four dozen transitioning foster youth the resources, encouragement and commitment they need to begin a new life chapter as college students. They met potential lifelong mentors and successful JIT College Bound Alumni, received laptops and printers, learned valuable tips on money management, legal matters and practical purchases, got an introduction to the additional help offered by the JIT Champions, and they paired up with a JIT volunteer guide for a shopping spree to buy essential dorm set-ups and school supplies at the Mission Valley Target stores.
It was an incredible day that fulfilled the JIT mission for a new group of dedicated, deserving and grateful young people. Our promise was not only to help get them started in their first year but to also provide the consistent, caring connection to help them graduate. And your contributions of over $30,000 made it all happen.
Watch for a complete list of thank you's to all the special volunteers, contributors and partners who made the day possible! View the 2010 College Bound slide show on this page.
