It's Thank Your Mentor Day! ✨ We couldn't be more excited to give a shoutout of gratitude to our amazing mentors—thanks for ALL you do! 💚

We kicked off 2026 with vision planning! ✨Youth created vision boards to set goals, dream big and look ahead. We’re thankful to @Accenture_US #Sacramento for hosting this creative and empowering time.

Hear from mentees and mentors as they say "thank you" for a 2025 filled with mentoring moments, inspiring workshops and fun group events. #Mentor ▶️ youtube.com/shorts/Z8RkUy5…

Wishing our community a year filled with connection, growth and success! ✨

1️⃣ of countless Mentoring Moments in 2025 — Mentors showing up! 💚 Mentors were there in so many ways: from driving a mentee to her first day at her first job, to being there when a mentee needed to express his frustration about family and his future, to so many more moments.

2️⃣ of countless Mentoring Moments in 2025 — 100% on-time high school graduations! 🎓 Every eligible youth graduated from high school, and one transferred straight into a 4-year college! 💫 Each of them had a mentor rooting for them!

It's not too late to make an impact in 2025! ✨ Join our friend, Don Wells, Chief Empowerment Officer at Just in Time for Foster Youth, with a tax-deductible investment today, or pledge to give in 2026. 🗓️ Learn more or give at agingup.org/our-vision-an-…!

3️⃣ of countless Mentoring Moments in 2025 — Match speaking at Play to Empower! 🎤 We LOVED seeing Mentee Jessica's natural communication skills during our annual FUNdraiser as she shared about the new experiences and support she's gained over the past 3 years from Mentor Mieke.

4️⃣of countless Mentoring Moments in 2025 — Our first Friendsgiving! It was a meaningful time of connection, great food, and fun. One mentee said, “Holidays for me growing up were not easy…sitting around with friends has been an entirely different experience.”

Mentoring Moment 2025 #5 is a standout: 2 Matches carpooled to a Kings game. 🚗 🏀 They enjoyed unlimited popcorn, drinks, fries and nonstop action. Everyone agreed: “It was so much more than just a game—it was a full-blown show!” Make more happen at agingup.org/give!

Wishing our amazing community a very merry Christmas! 🎄⭐

An outpouring of generosity has given us holiday vibes! ✨🎄Read about our friends David and Christina, who hosted a happy hour, raising more than $7,500 in items, contributions and gift cards so every youth in our program has a thoughtful gift. ➡️agingup.org/happy-hour-wit….

As Hanukkah begins, we’re reminded of the power of light—especially in times of sorrow. 🕎 Our hearts are with the Jewish community and all those impacted by the recent tragedy in Sydney. Hanukkah teaches us that light, resilience and community endure.🕯️

Thank you to the generous 18 people who donated yesterday on #GivingTuesday—you raised more than $1,600!! 🎉 There's still time to help us reach our goal of $2,750 to be matched by our board members. bit.ly/4865D7W ✨

We all want good vibes! 👍 YOU can make that happen for more youth from foster care with a special #GivingTuesday donation at weblink.donorperfect.com/agingUP-gt or learn more at agingup.org. ✨

Youth from #fostercare often live in isolation, especially after they exit the system. But in our program, they gain community—mentors who show up, caring positive adult role models, and peers who become friends. 🌟Create community at bit.ly/4865D7W!

The sense of belonging is an invaluable feeling, especially for youth from foster care. Today, you can give the gift of connection at bit.ly/4865D7W. And your investment will be doubled until we reach our board match of $2,750.
