First In Readiness and Self-Sufficiency Training
Where young adults prepare for a successful future after foster care by managing and operating a manufacturing and distribution center for high-quality outdoor wood furniture.
This is not just another Picnic Table. This Picnic Table is manufactured and distributed by young adults preparing to leave the foster care and/or court systems. The manufacturing of this Picnic Table and understanding the components of entrepreneurship regarding its distribution presents great opportunities for young adults to:
- Build Confidence
- Develop Transferable and Marketable Skills
- Experience Success
- Develop Realistic Plans for Long-Term Success
The special Magic of this Picnic Table is that it promotes a sense of togetherness, belonging, and permanency for the family that purchases it.
Because of frequent transitions between group homes, foster care homes, and emergency shelters, many young adults in foster care long for a sense of belonging and permanency. Who would be more fitting to provide families with an opportunity to promote belonging and permanency, than those who are looking for it themselves?
In an exciting and encouraging partnership with Richmond Habitat for Humanity, our young adults donate a Picnic Table to each new Habitat for Humanity Family.
The hope is that by sowing this Magic Picnic Table Seed in other families, our young adults will one day be able to have this in their own families.
