Happy Holidays!

Dear Friends,

As 2024 comes to a close, I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to each of you. Your unwavering commitment to empowering teens in foster care has transformed over 3,000 lives—and counting.

Across our network, your support is driving dynamic research, enhancing curriculum through innovative programs like micro-credentialing certifications, fostering connections with lawmakers, creating impactful advocacy opportunities, and building stronger pipelines to higher education. These initiatives showcase the incredible work being done to create lasting, meaningful change.

One bright recent highlight is Sam Perez, an Arizona State University alum and former First Star peer mentor, who is now pursuing his dream of becoming a doctor—a testament to the life-changing impact of First Star's work, empowering youth in foster care.
