This National Foster Care Awareness Month, we want to take a moment to say thank you! 🧡

To every mentor, volunteer, donor, partner, advocate, and supporter of Peace4Kids your support makes our work possible. Because of you, youth in foster care are reminded every single day that they are seen, valued, supported, and never alone!

At Peace4Kids, we believe every young person deserves community, opportunity, joy, and a future filled with possibility. Through programming, mentorship, life skills, leadership development, and safe spaces to simply be themselves, we continue working to empower foster youth to thrive and we couldn’t do it without you.

Thank you for standing beside us as we continue supporting, uplifting, and investing in the incredible youth in our community.

Volunteer Spotlight: Laura Arias 🧡

Since September 2021, Laura has contributed over 594 hours to the Peace4Kids community and every single one of those hours has been filled with care, connection, and heart.

From holding down registration like a pro to stepping into Peace Garden with our littles (ages 4-6), Laura shows up with a smile, a hug, and a deep presence that young people feel right away.

There’s a warmth and consistency she brings that helps create the kind of space where youth feel safe, seen, and excited to come back each week.

Laura….thank you for everything you give to our P4K community. We love you to the moon and back!!! 🌻🌻

We’re excited to share that Peace4Kids has been selected as one of only 20 organizations nationwide to receive funding through the and Foot Locker Foundation Community Empowerment Program!

This investment is more than a grant it’s an opportunity to deepen our impact. With this support, we’ll continue expanding meaningful programming, strengthening mentorship, and creating powerful connections for youth in the foster care community.

This is what community support looks like in action. Together, we’re building safe spaces where young people feel seen, supported, and empowered to lead. 🧡

Black History Month drop 🎙️✨ 
Last Saturday, Peace4Kids commemorated the 100th Black History Month in the U.S. with our annual celebration - smiles, dancing, and real connection all day long.

And we also dropped a new podcast episode: a real conversation about colorism - how it impacts Black and Brown communities and shows up in families, friendships, dating, workplaces, and media… and what healing can look like.

This episode also features an interview with Kenya Barris (Black-ish creator/showrunner) on storytelling, representation, and the narratives that shape how we see ourselves.

💬 Community question (let’s keep it respectful): What’s ONE thing you wish people understood about colorism - or one way you’ve seen it show up in real life? (One sentence is perfect.)

👇 Drop your answer below. 🎧 Listen via link in bio.

January is National Mentoring Month, and we’re taking a moment to celebrate what consistent, caring support can make possible for young adults impacted by foster care. 💛

Huge gratitude to the Rotary Club of Los Angeles (LA5) for their $10,000 grant to Peace4Kids that helped power our THRIVE transition-age youth programming: community-building events, 1:1 support, wellness-centered spaces, and leadership opportunities that remind young people they don’t have to navigate adulthood alone.

These photos capture just a few of the moments where connection became momentum. 
Thank you, LA5 Rotary, for investing in belonging, stability, and brighter futures.
