Current Guiding Light Students

Menifee Valley Campus, Building 250 | 2pm - 5pm

As the holidays and finals get close, we know that it can be a difficult and stressful time of year. Join us for an afternoon filled with activities and experiences designed to "feed your soul".  Let us take time away from this busy time of year to be creative, fellowship together, and be encouraged.  

Art, poetry, music, essays - and any other creative outlet - are encouraged that capture the theme: "Redefining My Foster Care Experience". 
For individuals who have experienced the foster care system, often times their experiences can feel limited to one perspective of what the foster care system is. For some, the foster care system was a saving grace while for others it may have been traumatizing.  Regardless of what one’s experience was or even currently is in the foster care system, we want to hear how you are redefining those experiences for yourself, your family, your loved ones, etc. We want to hear how you are using your experiences to empower and motivate yourself in reaching your goals. 
Congratulations to the winners!
Choosing a 1st place winner proved to be a challenge so we are awarding these four students with the 1st place prize of $300!
