Hello, friends of Project Everlast!
One of our Nebraska Foster Youth Council members, Nadia, was featured in the National CASA Winter 2011 newsletter. It’s such a wonderful story that I wanted to share it with you.
The story can be found at the following link:

I also encourage you to read the newsletter’s Cover Story for an important article by Gary Stangler, Executive Director of the Jim Casey Youth Opportunities Initiative. Gary gives a wonderful overview of the needs of youth in care and ongoing efforts to improve outcomes for youth in the public policy arena. The cover story can be found here:

Please let me know if you have questions about CASA, the Jim Casey Youth Opportunities Initiative, or the Opportunity Passport™. As always, thank you for all you do for youth and young adults impacted by foster care.
Best regards,
