THE STORY

Project 48 was founded by twin sisters with a passion for supporting children in foster care. Brandy, a former CASA; and Tonya, a foster parent of ten years, saw that children experiencing foster care were frequently overlooked during vulnerable and traumatic transitions. Together, they launched Project 48 to provide youth entering foster care with high-quality clothing and essential items to allow for an easier transition in foster care. Since Project 48 launched in 2019, it has grown to include 3 additional programs that provide support to youth at every step of their foster care journey.

OUR DEI STATEMENT

Project 48 was founded with the intent to create, promote, and sustain a culture and reputation for being an organization grounded in equity that leverages diversity and inclusion in all that we do. We continually look outward to enhance our understanding, skills, and expertise around DEI, as well as inward to understand better each other and our respective backgrounds.


As we advance our DEI work in the most intentional way, we will create trust and safety by engaging with our employees and volunteers to ensure that we are committed to highlighting talent and passion for the work that we do.  Project 48 seeks to foster a supportive work environment that values all cultures, and where employees or volunteers at every level of the organization feel engaged, empowered, and a sense of belonging to fully contribute.  These fundamentals are the root of creating a safe and positive environment that promotes DEI in every aspect of what we do.


We will continue to serve our youth community with the utmost emphasis on providing items for all youth that make them feel empowered, embraced, accepted, and loved.  Project 48 believes that all youth deserve to feel valued, and their well-being has always been and will continue to be, the driving force behind our commitment to the highest standards of DEI we can attain.
