Tonight, we had the honor of attending the Fostering Futures Scholarship Gala, and what a night it was! We’re filled with gratitude for this incredible event and the inspiring community that surrounds our work. It was such a joy connecting with so many familiar faces and champions of students with experience in foster care.

So much fun, laughter, and love in one room. Thank you to everyone who helps us keep the mission alive.💙💚

📚✨ Building Connections Through Service & Learning! ✨📚A few weeks ago, our Seita Scholars teamed up with the incredible 6th graders at Linden Grove Middle School for a service-learning project focused on English, language, and writing skills! 📝💡Together, they worked on writing exercises, practiced public speaking by presenting their work to the full group, and engaged in powerful discussions about the importance of education. 🎤👏 The energy, enthusiasm, and mutual learning made this an amazing experience for everyone involved! 🌟
Thank you to Linden Grove Middle School for welcoming us, and to all the young writers who bravely shared their stories!

We hope you’re having a Terrific Tuesday! Today’s Student Spotlight features Seita Scholar - Raymond “RJ” Miller who is a senior, majoring in Aviation Management and Operations with a minor in General Business. While maintaining a full-time academic schedule, RJ has done an outstanding job building his professional network and pursuing opportunities that will prepare him for his career. As such, he recently obtained a summer internship with Duncan Aviation in Nebraska. He regularly attends the MET Foster Futures fundraising events and volunteers with the Park West Foundation. He continues to expand his passion for community service as a proud member of Iota Phi Theta Fraternity, Inc. Raymond has a great passion for traveling. In 2023, he attended the inaugural Seita Scholars Program study abroad trip to the Dominican Republic. Raymond is excited to continue his study abroad journey as he will be traveling to Iceland this April. We are proud of all you have accomplished throughout your college journey. Keep up the great work! 🙌🏾🤎💛
