Holiday Gift Drive
We know it’s only October, and you’re probably thinking more about pumpkin spice and Halloween costumes than the holiday season. But Pivotal, a nonprofit that provides coaching, scholarships, and career opportunities for youth in and from foster care, is already planning ahead!
The holidays can be a difficult time for young people from foster care so once again the Pivotal Alumni Association is hosting their Annual Holiday Gift Drive to bring warmth and joy to every scholar attending our holiday celebration.
Your generosity will ensure our scholars experience the joy and celebration they deserve. Click here to shop, personalize gifts, and make this season special for foster youth!

Mission
As a population, foster youth struggle to succeed in school and the workplace. In fact, 89% want to go to college but only 3% will earn their bachelor’s degree. No matter how you look at it, being in foster care is a tough road. Pivotal helps their dreams become a reality.
Pivotal specializes in guiding foster youth towards academic and employment success.
