Backpacks, Smiles, and Superheroes: Making Back-to-School Dreams Come True for Foster Kids

Imagine starting a new school year without the excitement of picking out your own backpack or choosing your first-day-of-school outfit. For many children in foster care, this is a reality. But this back-to-school season, Voices for Children of Broward County set out to change that.

We hosted two incredible events that gave over 220 children in foster care the chance to experience the joy of being fully prepared and confident as they head back to school. These events weren’t just about providing supplies – they were about giving these kids a sense of ownership, empowerment, and a little bit of normalcy that every child deserves.

On December 2, 2023, an extraordinary collaboration between Voices for Children of Broward County and Voices for Children Foundation brought the magic of Disney to life for children in foster care. This special day at Walt Disney World was more than just a trip to the Happiest Place on Earth—it was a transformative experience that left an indelible mark on the hearts of everyone involved.

United by a shared mission to create lasting memories, our organizations, supported by the incredible generosity of our community of donors, turned this dream into a reality. From the moment the children set foot in the park to the final glimpse of the iconic castle, the day was filled with pure joy, laughter, and smiles that will be remembered for a lifetime.

We had an amazing and exciting summer here at Voices for Children of Broward County! Because of our friends like you, we were able to have a Summer of Fun. Read more below about all of our summertime activities that helped to build memories for a lifetime.
