Stockings with Care!
Each year, we proudly give back to our community. This year, we supported Stockings With Care, part of Projects with Care. We received Christmas wish lists from four siblings in a shelter. We enjoyed shopping for and wrapping their gifts so their parents can surprise them on Christmas morning. We are thankful to be part of this meaningful project and help share holiday joy.
Junket has gone Platinum!
Unlike typical programs, it’s challenging to quantify our impact, but we’ve had great help from our board member Katie Truelove. We’re finalizing our process and are excited to share more as the year ends.
Thanks to our progress, we’ve been upgraded to Platinum status on our Candid profile.
Junket Refined
We didn't want to inundate with multiple newsletters with all the details of "refinement" happening here at Junket, so we are compiling a very packed update highlighting the newly refined junketnyc.org.
Chapter Two: No, It’s Not Sad!
I’ve seen first-hand the impact of not having a solid support system and safety net in place. Particularly for those involved in the foster care system. Junket isn’t just a program- it’s a home. ~ Sara C
Chapter Two: Growing Up!
It’s been a journey … Looking forward to sharing more over the coming months as we get things rolling with this next chapter of Junket’s Story.
Catherine : A Street Photography Class
This month we are featuring on of our very own! Catherine used a portion of her grant money this year to take a one day class at Bric Arts (which was only $6, we LOVE Bric!) in street photography.
Boldly Dreaming BIG!
Partner with us to bring on full-time staff and make more of an impact!
We have come this far and are 100% committed to taking the next steps to take on full-time staff so we can create the forever family that we always intended Junket to be for youth transitioning out of foster care.
Taking a Pause : 2023 in Review
A new year has arrived and it’s time to take a pause and look back on the exciting year it’s been. We began 2023 rolling out our new Individual Grant Program, offering Junket members the opportunity to build their own map for working toward stability and success.
Individual Member Grants
Offering Junket members the opportunity to build their own map toward stability and success.
In 2024, we will continue to walk alongside the youth and help turn on the lights as they walk in their path for success and work toward their full potential, celebrating them as the unique individuals they are.
An Inspiring Tea Tag
“Look forward with anticipation, know that we can do anything we put our minds to, and never compromise ourselves for the expectations of others.” May it be as encouraging to you as it was for us, and we look forward to sharing where we go from here.
Happy Holidays +
From our family to yours, we wish you a lovely Holiday with an inspiring New Year to look forward too!
Transitioning Into 2023
We are excited to launch a personalized project/goal in the form of a grant for each member of Junket that will be more specific to them as they navigate independence.
