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

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.
