A 16-year-old wrestler was ready to quit to avoid burdening her soon-to-be adoptive family. Then, thanks to Tyrone Keys connecting Carnell Moore to Tim Gardner of Fostering Dreams of Tampa Bay, she was gifted a car, giving her the freedom to keep chasing her dreams on the mat.
What a day at Dick’s House of Sport in Tampa! The Premier Players Sports Foundation brought together youth in foster care & their supporters for fun games of kickball against Dick’s employees. The employees got the Ws, but the kids gained community, encouragement & inspiration.
A big shoutout to Ken Kyle, General Manager at American Countertop in Tampa, FL, & his crew for hosting a group of young adults on May 10th! It was a hands-on, inspiring experience that showed these young adults what’s possible when hard work meets craftsmanship. Many thanks!
To all those extraordinary ladies we call mom:
Now available on Amazon, this powerful six-week guide is a must-read and a potential life-changer for any young person trying to find their place. It cuts through the noise and self-doubt to deliver one simple, undeniable truth: you have value, and the world needs you.
This is one of our most impactful issues yet for high school and college graduates! This edition reminds them that it’s okay not to have it all figured out, that real growth happens outside comfort zones, and that success is never a straight line. https://www.ilsalliance.com
The Premier Players Sports Foundation hosted its first Kickball Challenge last week. Former MLB player and Executive Director Kenny Kelly (rockin' the white shirt) led his fierce squad in the event to support the success of teens and young adults.
With the help of local professionals and youth in foster care, ILS Alliance will be a powerful resource to help teens and young adults succeed by connecting them with vital information, opportunities, and businesses that want to support their journey. We’re building a nationwide network of partners offering our young people discounts, mentorship, training, and even jobs.
Being listed on the website is one way to show your support to the community. However, the ILS Alliance is more than just about showing. All partners must be open to speaking with young people interested in their line of work via in-person or digital meetings and allow them to observe their work on a set day/time we will display on member profiles. In the best case scenario, you help train up a youth that someday comes to work for you, with you, or in the industry they’ve dreamt about.
Joining the Alliance starts at $500 annually, and advertising opportunities exist as we promote this Alliance to communities nationwide. The funds will help the Alliance create jobs for teens and young adults, and train them in skills for various industries via in-person and virtual meetings. We will start by hosting monthly meetings for them that will become weekly this Summer. Our first in-person meeting was a luncheon on March 29th at Mobley Homes to hear about trades of the industry and tour a model home. It was a great experience and we will do more!
The world tempts young people in many ways that can devastate their lives. Your membership will give them alternatives to better opportunities. We also look forward to sharing their experiences with you in our monthly Independent Living magazine, which focuses on relationships, health, finance, and resources.
Thank you for your time and support of this mission. We will list only three individuals/companies in the same industry on the website, so join now by calling 813-833-3495 or sending an e-mail to carnell@ilsalliance.com. I look forward to us making a difference together!
