At-Risk Youth Scrapbook Program
Our scrapbook kits help at-risk youth, like those in the foster care system, communicate.
Use our scrapbook to connect with a child's likes, dislikes, and needs- it is a creative way to connect youth with their case management, caregivers, and guardians.
Foster Care Scrapbook Program
Who I Am was approached by several Foster Care Parents looking for a way to better communicate and understand the children placed in their care. Since that time, our mission has expanded to help Foster Care Parents and Caregivers connect on a personal level with these children.
Currently, in the tri-county area, when children are removed from their homes by Child Protective Services, they are taken to a Heartland for Children Intake Center for placement. Their partner, ECHO Ministries, then gifts each child with a "first night" bag. This bag contains a basic toiletry kit, a stuffed animal, our Who I Am Scrapbook Gift Set, and because of our pajama program, a new pair of pajamas.
The scrapbook is filled with "Who I Am Description Cards" to help them describe their likes, dislikes and any details about their life story they wish to share. See our video to learn about the contents of each kit. Made of plastic, children can easily carry it with them if they move to multiple locations.
