GFWC-NC Director of Junior Clubs Special Project

This initiative will be carried out in partnership with Children’s Home Society (CHS), an organization with a long and trusted history of creating permanent families and strengthening the futures of at‑risk children and youth. Through their Adoption Services and Independent Living programs , CHS connects children in foster care with loving families, guides them through the adoption journey, and provides ongoing support to ensure long‑term stability and success.

Over the next two years, clubs across the state will have the opportunity to support this mission in meaningful ways—through awareness, hands‑on service, and projects that directly benefit children and teens in foster care.

Together, we have the POWER to change the world! Let’s make a real and lasting difference in the lives of these young people! You have the POWER to make a difference—whether by becoming a foster parent, donating essential supplies, volunteering to assemble care packages, or simply helping spread the word. Every action truly counts.
