A lot of people are under the impression that in order to impact the life of a child in foster care, they have to become a foster parent. Raise Me Up wants to show people how easy it is to dramatically change the life of a vulnerable child in foster care with just a small commitment of time. Get the facts.
The message of the Raise Me Up campaign is: “You don’t have to raise a foster child to raise them up. You just have to raise your hand and say you’ll help.” New Jerseyans will be invited to visit the Raise Me Up Web site through powerful television, radio and transit advertisements where they will learn about a variety of ways to
volunteer and help youth across the state and right in their own community.
Goals of the Raise Me Up campaign:
• Strengthen families and improve the lives of millions of children.
• Inspire action and engagement.
• Focus people on the real challenges facing children in foster care.
