Tools 4 Success – Back to School Celebration

Imagine starting a new school year with nothing but an empty backpack. For foster kids, this feeling is all too familiar. With limited funds, it’s difficult for foster kids to buy a new backpack or new school supplies to fit in with their classmates.

OCJ Kids’ annual Tools 4 Success is designed to ensure that every foster child going back to school has one less thing to worry about!

Impacting Our Community

Children removed from their homes due to abuse, neglect, or other safety concerns often face significant challenges, including limited access to essential resources, lack of support during transitions, and difficulty navigating independent living after aging out of the foster care system.
