Fostering Change

Today was our Kick Off to Summer Party! ☀️💦

Our youth had an amazing time, and honestly, so did our staff! Just look at the pictures 🤣 Where else do you get paid to spend the day playing on a giant water slide? 🤩

We enjoyed a fantastic water slide from M and R Bounce Co., delicious snow cones from Kona Ice of Fort Smith, volleyball, co****le, and lots of outdoor games and activities. The laughter, smiles, and memories made today were the perfect way to kick off the summer season.

We have an exciting summer ahead filled with fun, adventures, and engaging activities for our youth, and we can’t wait to make even more memories together!

Summer, we’re ready for you! 🌞🎉

Sneak peek👀

We are so excited to see everything coming together!! If you need murals painted- LLilly's Murals and Moreis your girl!!

We also have other amazing artists working on other spaces in the building, pictures coming soon!! We couldn’t do what we do without our support from community partners!❤️

What a special opportunity to get to give the girls dorm a little life at Fostering Change!! Stay tuned because I'll be back this afternoon and tomorrow!

🎨🧩 Help Us Create a Fun & Welcoming Space for Our Teens! 🧩🎨

We’re getting so close to launching our new programs and we want it to feel like a place they can truly relax, be themselves, and have fun. 💛

We’re currently looking for donations of craft supplies and board games to help stock the space! Think things like:
- Paints, sketchbooks, markers, and DIY kits
- Friendship bracelet or jewelry-making supplies
- Puzzles and card games
- Classic or newer board games teens would enjoy

Our goal is to create a space that feels less like a program and more like a home!

If you have any new or gently used items you’d be willing to donate, we would be so grateful!

🛍️ Need ideas? We’ve attached our Walmart wishlist if you’d prefer to purchase directly from there!

📍 Drop-off Location: Administrative Building
2901 Rogers Ave.
🕒 Hours: Monday–Friday, 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM

Feel free to message us with any questions. Thank you for helping us make this space special for our teens! 💫
