iFoster Jobs Program

When Reid and Serita Cox started iFoster about seven years ago, they wanted to provide resources and support for the foster care community. That original vision and purpose is now being recognized by AARP’s Purpose Prize, an award given to “extraordinary individuals who use their life experience to make a better future for all,” according to AARP’s website.

iFoster, a non-profit organization that provides resources and opportunities to foster youth, partnered with the California-based supermarket chain Raley’s earlier this year to give children in foster care the opportunity for employment at its stores.
