These are drawing journals - so you draw out the answer to "How do you feel today?" instead of writing it. They sell the books on Amazon and on their website (www.DoodlyCouch.com), but they also have a fundraising program and they let you make money by selling their books, with no money up front and no minimum order. You could combine this with something fun like an art contest and prizes maybe?<br><b>References : </b><br>http://www.DoodlyCouch.com/fundraisers.html There’s a company called DoodlyCouch that offers workbooks and journals for all sorts of people – they have one specifically for kids, as well.

When youth emancipate from foster care at 18 they often become homeless and have no resources. It's really heartbreaking to see a generation of people who just fall through the cracks. The first services to be eliminated with City, State and Federal budget cuts are for children, youth and the homeless. I've heard that it's because those populations don't vote. Politicians care about voters, campaign donors and business contacts. Without knowing your city it's hard to give specific recommendations. I've volunteers for over 30 organizations through the years for various causes and foster care is a place there is dire need and little resources. It's so great to hear that your social club is getting involved! Good work!<br><b>References : </b><br> Please find organizations in your area that help foster care youth.
