OFYC Resource Center is Now Open
This past Friday, friends and supporters of the Oregon Foster Youth Connection gathered in Southeast Portland to celebrate a hallmark moment in OFYC’s history: the opening of our very own Resource Center!
Outfitted with brand new laptops, a conference space, and a small reading room, the Resource Center will be a hub for all OFYC’s advocacy activities and offer youth transitioning from foster care a safe space to get connected to community resources for housing, healthcare, and education.
OFYC Member Ambassador, Sam, shared his thoughts with more than 50 guests in attendance on Friday about what it means for the group to have a home to complete its work:
“The dreams of youth echo through this building—the dreams of committed, passionate individuals who deserve every inch of ground they have cleared through political perseverance.”
Sam has been involved in OFYC for nearly three years and is an amazing youth leader.
We are proud of this enormous accomplishment—one that would not have been possible without your support.
