The First Car Project
Our mission is to empower foster youth transitioning into adulthood/independent living by providing access to reliable personal transportation. We believe that mobility is fundamental to independence, and by equipping young people aging out of the foster care system with vehicles, we help open doors to stable employment, continued education, essential healthcare, and secure housing. Our goal is to eliminate transportation barriers and create pathways to a brighter, healthier, and more self-sufficient future for every youth we serve.
Recipient's Words
“First of all, I want to say thank you so much again this car has made a difference in my life, I am able to go anywhere without asking someone for a ride, I have been able to ride to appointments for myself and also take my son to appointment when foster parents are busy.” --Johana, 2024 recipient
