BE KIND .

LOVE MORE.

DO GOOD.

In the United States, young adults who “age out” of the foster

care system are the most vulnerable to poor outcomes.*

Our vision at Doing Good Works is for all young people who

experienced foster care to have an equal chance to succeed

and feel empowered.

Our mission is to foster the purpose of business to improve

lives and connect communities through our 10/20/30 model.

We turn business transactions into life transformations.

10% of prots are donated

to organizations that support

the foster community

20% of employee time is

available for mentoring

in the community

30% of employees are

from the foster community

Because of the grant I received from

Doing Good Works, I did not have to

choose between paying my electricity

bill and buying textbooks for school. I

even have $100 extra dollars that I can

save.

I want to empower people to decide things

for themselves and be who they want to be

rather than who they are told to be. I try to

be empowering in my interactions with

people all the time and the work that I want

to do is fundamentally about giving people

the opportunity to speak and be heard.

Personal growth and development is positively

impacted by a caring adult other than the youth’s

parents.*

YOUTH IMPACTED

...Whether it was coming with me to the

mechanic or dealing with my emotions

and seasons in my life [my mentor] was

always there. She just really wanted to

be there through it all — the crises and

the happy times. It made my will to live

greater on a day to day basis — which

may sound a lil’ funny but is true.

Young adults with a mentor are more likely

to overcome adversity than those who do

not have a mentor. *

Doing Good Works came into my life at

the perfect time and when I really needed

it. I was nervous at the end of my college

journey, and they stepped in so gracefully

and gave me opportunities that I would

not have at another company.

Of the 20,000 young people who transition out

of foster care annually, 50% are unemployed

by age 24 and 28% experience homelessness.*

Ashely was working hard to nish her high

school year strong and was in need of some

groceries for her home to help ease the

stressors from COVID-19. Thanks to Kaiser

Permanente San Diego’s support, we were

able to make Ashely’s wish come true.

Through an innovative wish-granting platform,

you can send some love to a child who needs it.
