Celebrating Juneteenth! ❤️💛💚 Today, we honor and celebrate the day freedom reached all corners of our nation. As Opal Lee, the Grandmother of Juneteenth, reminds us: ‘None of us are free until we’re all free.’ Juneteenth serves as a powerful reminder of the work that still lies ahead. As we celebrate freedom and African American culture, let’s also recommit ourselves to building a society where every child, regardless of their background, has an equal opportunity to thrive and succeed. Together, we can create a future that embraces equity, justice, and compassion for all. 🙌🏾🫶🏾 #juneteenth #charlotteangels #freedomday #celebratefreedom #opallee #changethestats

Impact Story: Dare to Dream Mentorship Program ✨ Meet Mentor “M” and teen girl “B” – a dynamic duo whose bond has flourished in such a short time! Our case manager shared this beautiful moment: “’B’ lit up when I asked her about ‘M’. She showed me the beautiful bracelets they made together, with each charm holding special meaning. They each have half of a butterfly, and when put together, it becomes whole. They also have charms of the world because ‘B’ says they are both ‘out of this world.’ This relationship is flourishing, and her confidence is already increasing.” 🦋🌎🤍 We are so proud of the incredible impact “M” is making in “B”’s life through our Dare to Dream Mentorship Program! #mentorship #mentorshipmatters #teenmentor #daretodream #charlottementors #volunteerwork #charlotte #charlottenc #fosteryouth #agingoutoffostercare #agingout #findyourwhy #giveback #impactalife #whatsyourwhy

Consistent, supportive relationships are crucial in healing trauma experienced by children in foster care. Trauma is complex and changes the way we interpret the world. The evidence is clear: when children have adult relationships that make them feel safe and protected, they are better able to weather difficult periods and are less likely to face negative consequences of trauma later in life. Our Love Box volunteers and Dare to Dream Mentors provide stability and trust, helping to overcome the negative effects of trauma. By fostering these connections, we can improve mental health outcomes, enhance educational achievements, and reduce the likelihood of homelessness and incarceration among foster youth. Together, we can change the statistics. 👏🏼 #relationshipshealtrauma #traumainformed #fostercare #fostercareawareness #fostercaresupport #charlottenonprofit #charlottenc #changethestats

✨ MATCH MADE! ✨ We are so happy to announce that we’ve made a match in our Dare to Dream® mentorship program between a sweet volunteer and deserving 13-year-old girl. This year alone, 20,000 youth will age out of foster care. Mentors can make the transition smoother for those who are inching closer to aging out by helping them prepare for the big moments that lie ahead, and dream about their future. Dare to Dream® mentors serve in many different roles in youths’ lives. Yet, each role has accomplished the same great feat: relational permanence. 👏🏼 To learn more about our programs, refer a fostering family or youth, or to volunteer, visit our website using the link in bio 🫶🏼 #dare2dream #mentorshipmatters #mentorshipprogram #fosteryouth #agingout #agingoutoffostercare #fostercare #fostercareawareness #supportfosteryouth #makeadifference #changethestats

Have you heard about our Build-A-Box events? 💛📦 In a world where youth experiencing foster care will move households, on average, seven times within two years – where children and youth have so few things they call their own, that moving from one place to another means all their belongings will fit into a single bag…imagine what it would feel like for those children to open up a big box, custom-built just for them, filled with things they’ve wished for and need. Imagine how seen they would feel. Imagine how supported their fostering family would feel. Imagine the statistic-changing ripple effect this kind of support could have. 🤯 Charlotte Angels offers individual groups and corporate partners the opportunity to come together to build Love Boxes, filled with hand-picked items for children and youth experiencing foster care. The impact of these boxes extends beyond the items inside. The hope, support, and sense of belonging that comes along with them is tremendous. We are so proud of this program and the way it radically supports children, youth, and families. 👏🏼 If you or your company would be interested in finding out more about hosting a Build-A-Box event, please email camille@charlotteangels.org. #loveboxprogram #loveboxsupport #communitysupport #charlottebusiness #charlottebusinesswomen #charlottegivesback #cltlove #fostercarecharlotte #charlottefostercare #meckdss #mecklenburgcounty #corporateteambuilding #charlotte #charlottenonprofit #buildabox
