Remember when you were getting ready for your first semester at college? Deciding how to decorate your dorm room? There is nothing like going to school fully stocked with school supplies, dorm room necessities, and all of the fun stuff to make college-life feel like home...That is what we need here at Achieving Independence Center (AIC) and to that end; we are issuing a Backpack Challenge! We challenge your company to collect a minimum of 20 laundry baskets/backpacks/storage bins filled with school and dorm supplies to help our youth prepare for the upcoming school year.

The AIC’s goal is to collect 150 college care package kits before August 11, 2010. Please respond by July 14, 2010 at challenge@aicenter.us with your company name, contact person and best way to contact them, along with the anticipated number of backpacks your company would be willing to fill, if you will be participating in our Backpack Challenge!

The Achieving Independence Center’s mission to assist foster care youth in their transition to adulthood is supported by PathWaysPA by providing qualified, supportive mentors for AIC members who desire to have a mentor. The AIC Mentoring Program is available for both males and females.
Participants of the program are recruited on a voluntary basis and are matched according to their needs and characteristics. A match may be made between one adult and one young adult or one adult and two young adults depending on the number of program participants. All matches are supported through formal and informal trainings, meetings, and activities for mentors and mentees. Through the mentoring programs, young adults have an opportunity to build self-esteem, develop a relationship with an adult, establish networks, and be supported in their social development.

Please contact Stephanie Sylvain Mentoring Program Supervisor at 215-574-9194 or email at ssylvain@aicenter.us

The Achieving Independence Center, therefore, is looking for your help. Help us Suit Up! our young men to be successful in their future careers.
