Project Title: Life Skills Support for Foster Youth
Project Description:

Young adults with foster care experience often enter adulthood without stable housing, financial support, or consistent guidance. Many are expected to manage employment, budgeting, and daily responsibilities on their own for the first time, placing them at high risk for instability.

The Life Leadership Academy provides direct support through a six-week, in-person program serving 30 foster youth ages 18 to 21 in Los Angeles County. Participants attend weekly sessions focused on financial literacy, job readiness, communication, and essential life skills needed for independence.

Youth receive hands-on support in creating resumes, practicing interviews, and learning how to manage income and expenses. The program also provides stipends, helping participants meet immediate needs and participate consistently.

A key component of the program is consistent adult guidance. Participants work closely with facilitators and mentors who provide structure, accountability, and support. This helps youth follow through on goals and navigate challenges they may otherwise face alone.

After completing the program, participants remain connected to She Ready Foundation and continue to access support, resources, and referrals.

Funding from the Hermanowski Family Foundation will support participant stipends and essential program materials for one cohort of 30 foster youth.

Total Project Budget: 105,000

Other Funding
Sources For The Project (Committed & Potential): Individual donor contributions, annual fundraising events, and foundation support, including past funding from the SNAP Foundation, LA County District 3 Community Grant, Los Angeles Community Impact Arts Grant, and the LA County Arts and Culture Grant.
