A heartfelt thank you goes out to The Benjamin School’s Buccaneer Chapter of STUDENTS Speak Up for Kids, bringing together over 25 students to make a powerful impact this Halloween. Through their combined efforts, the team created 96 goodie bags for foster children, showcasing impressive leadership skills, teamwork, and compassion.

For her birthday, a dedicated intern with STUDENTS Speak Up for Kids, chose to make a lasting impact by launching a donation drive to support foster youth preparing to age out of the system. Her initiative provided critical "Launch Kits for Life," filled with essentials, to ensure these young adults have the resources they need as they transition into independence. Zoey's compassionate project underscores the power of youth leadership and the difference one person can make in fostering hope and opportunity for those in need.
