Ford Dream Builders students celebrate foster youth with birthday cheers [The Bakersfield Californian]
Dec. 20 Everyone deserves to feel special on their birthday, especially young children who may not have family members to throw grand celebrations every year.
A group of high-achieving high schoolers selected for the Ford Dimension and Dream Builders program has made it their mission to have the community help create birthday cards and celebrate local foster and homeless youth.
Each spring, the Jim Burke Education Foundation accepts 32 high school juniors to participate in the program. Students are split up into four teams and they gain leadership, career and life skills as they create and implement service projects that meet a community need. The COVID-19 pandemic, however, made meeting up and working on projects together a bit trickier.
