June 15, 2021 Burbank BPW Program on Foster Foster Children to College Program
On 6/15/21 Burbank’s BPW invited Jill Franklin, a wonderful speaker from the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services Independent Living Department, to discuss the support given to youth 16-21. Franklin explained the services they offer to Foster Children, and how Los Angeles County has approximately 400 Foster youth going forward to college or to vocational education. She said the need is great for these youth as they often have few role models who went to college. We were told of youth who would go to college move-in day alone with their belongings in trash bags. So Burbank BPW decided to hold a duffel bag drop this summer. Burbank BPW is asking for donations of new duffel bags that are over 24 inches. Please send any email inquiry to burbankbpw@gmail.com and to get the location for drop off. Click here for the Duffel Bag flyer Burbank Duffel Bag Drive 2021.The Duffel Bag Drive will be from June 15th through August 17th.
