Virtual Pilot Program for Foster care youth
The "Virtual Pilot Program" is our response to the needs of Foster Care Youth during the time of COVID-19.
For H.A.W.T Muse (a grassroots organization), 2019 was the year of networking, establishing relationships in and around Westchester County and it's surrounding communities. 2020 was a continuation of that along with it being the year of implementation of our programs and services.
With refusing to allow this pandemic to cripple our progress, we continued to focus on our mission and found a way to still roll out our programs and services with very little funding. We reached out to local agencies until we received our first YES!
We are now working with foster care youth of Westchester County, NY.
Due to our focus on keeping the safety of our youth at the forefront, we cannot display images of the youth. In time, we will share the name of the agency. So, stay tuned and continue to check this page for updated snapshots.
The below is an introduction to our AMAZING facilitators and snapshots of us in action during our webinars. Enjoy!
