DCFYI

National Volunteer Week gives us the opportunity to thank the incredible DCFYI volunteers who give so much of themselves and have such an impact on the lives of teens in foster care.  Hear from some DCFYI youth as they pass along their appreciation to our volunteers for providing crucial support and consistency:

"[My mentors] are both really nice! They've been supporting me for awhile now and I really like them. They have been there since I was in high school. They helped me get through some tough times."
