I went to an awesome event the other night for Renaissance Village & Vita Nova. This non-profit focuses on underserved youth through foster care and transitional living programs. I pulled the following info from the Renaissance Village website:
"Fact: 40 percent of all young people who age-out of foster care will be homeless in the first year. Find out about this and more alarming statistics about the population we serve
Renaissance Village has been helping to meet the high priority needs of Palm Beach County's adolescents and their families since 1999. Through a number of innovative programs, Renaissance Village is addressing serious social problems in our community.
Vita Nova of Renaissance Village is Palm Beach County's first comprehensive transitional living program for homeless youth aged between 18 to 25. Find out about our dynamic program which is literally changing lives one youth at a time. "
Sooooo.... I'm in love with the cause and believe I can use my background and experience as an event planner to help further promote the cause. They have several events coming up this year; the next is in April and will be showcasing talented young men and women in the community, from chefs to artists and musicians. Youth supporting youth...
Stay posted for more on this great non-profit... until then, please check out their website and spread the word!!!
