YTIA is grateful to have so many people that encourage, support, and allow us to share what God has given us to share with youth transitioning out of foster care. I would like to thank each of you for all you do for youths in and out of the foster care system and for those of you who volunteer your time and talent to work with these youths.
Let us continue to encourage and not discourage, to build up and not tear down, to help and not to hinder. Thank you and may God continue to bless you in your efforts. Brenda Lee Knowles, President/Co-founder, YTIA.
