Project Lemonade is dedicated to improving the lives of foster youth by increasing access to vital resources and opportunities. We prioritize diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice in all aspects of our work, ensuring that every voice is valued and heard. Learn more here.

We’re starting 2024 off with a fresh new look and website. We hope you the streamlined look and content, as well as Spanish translation.

Project Lemonade’s L+EARN Internship program provides a safe space for youth impacted by foster care to develop skills, confidence and career connections.

Earlier this month we mailed out 95 College Care Packages to Oregon foster youth in college. What an incredible group of volunteers, many of whom have made this project happen over the years. 

Congrats, students, and keep up the good work! We’re all cheering you on as you approach finals.

As we settle into 2023, at Project Lemonade we have been glowing with gratitude! We are so thankful to everyone who supported our end-of-year donation drives to make the holidays merry and bright. Read on to learn more about the 400+ youth served by Project Lemonade over the holidays.

Check out this short film where foster youth, interns and intern alums share their journey with Project Lemonade.

Will your business, organization, or group host a holiday drive to support foster youth?

Throughout the holiday season, we will reach hundreds of youth in foster care and provide over 500 teen gifts. We need support to stock our store with all the items foster youth need to have a happy holiday.

We can help you get everything set up, and have items needed at various price points, starting at $5.
