On Tuesday, Feb. 9, the Orphan Foundation of America (OFA) was going to hold its annual Congressional event that joins together Members of Congress, foster youth, foster youth advocates and others to celebrate the potential of foster youth. In addition, OFA was going to launch its Foster Care to Success program, a new, national volunteer movement that will connect caring volunteers across America to foster youth in their communities and help these young people learn essential life skills.

Due to the weather in D.C., the Tuesday, Feb. 9 event has been canceled.

More details on the Foster Care to Success program and how groups of people can get involved will be available after March 1. In April, which is National Volunteer Month, groups of volunteers will be engaged and pursuing activities that will make a difference in so many young people’s lives.
