Park Vista High School STUDENT Leads Holiday Toy Drive Impacting Foster Youth in Palm Beach County

Written By Dani MacGregor

Why It Matters

For many children in foster care, the holidays can be especially difficult. Limited resources, transitions between placements, and lack of consistent support systems can make it hard to experience the same joy many others take for granted.

Patrick recognized this gap and took action.

Inspired by this project? You can make a difference too through high school volunteer opportunities and virtual community service:

  • Join STUDENTS Speak Up for Kids and become a student leader

  • Organize projects that support foster youth year-round—not just during the holidays

  • Encourage friends, family, and your school community to get involved

You don’t need a large group to make a big impact. One student, one idea, and one community can come together to help foster kids feel supported and valued.

Take the first step today, your project could change someone’s entire season.
