What is a friend? A friend is someone who understands your past, helps guide you to fulfill your potential, and actively supports your best possible future.
As a "Friend of Just in Time (JIT)," you invest in former foster youth, lending a helping hand to support motivated youth as they transition, often without the benefit of family, from dependence on the foster care system to adulthood.
The outcome? Our numerous success stories show what happens when “friends” offer help from the heart. Since its creation, JIT has assisted approximately 3,000 youth. Your tax-deductible monetary donation enables JIT to address the urgent needs of this forgotten population, dramatically improving each youth’s chances of becoming a productive, successful member of our society.
