Save the Date for the 2024: May 31, 2024 to June 1, 2024
Aged-out foster youth often miss out on treasured memories like homecoming, prom, and other opportunities to be celebrated during their childhood. But together, we are changing that! Just a few minutes of your time online will help us honor our remarkable youth through Connections HomesComing. This virtual, two-day event will take place right here on connectionshomes.org on May 31st (National Aging Out of Foster Care Awareness Day) and June 1st (our 10th anniversary).
