Supportive Housing
Selfless Love Foundation partners with agencies in Florida and Texas to provide supportive housing for youth ages 18 to 23. Young adults attend monthly workshops on financial literacy, career readiness, and self-care. The on-site life coach provides consistent one-on-one life skills training and coaching to help youth grow personally and professionally and progress towards self-sufficiency. We also host events to celebrate their life achievements and build a sense of community.

Life & Leadership Training
Selfless Love Foundation helps youth build life and leadership skills by offering and facilitating training from the nationally recognized Foster Club curriculum. The curriculum, which provides positive youth development, is used statewide in our virtual and in-person trainings to guide youth on topics including the importance of youth-adult partnerships, stress management, and effective communication.
Each year, SLF provides young adults with the opportunity to participate in the renowned life and leadership training, Foundations for Success, led by Dale Carnegie. Young adults who complete Dale Carnegie are eligible to apply for Selfless Love Academy, formerly known as Dream Tank.

SELFLESS LOVE ACADEMY
Selfless Love Academy, formerly known as Dream Tank, helps youth impacted by foster care to develop leadership skills and self-confidence while providing professional guidance. Youth complete the program equipped with the skills and the belief that they can achieve their goals. During the months-long program, students participate in sessions on speech writing and presentation, professional etiquette, business tips from top leaders, and investment basics. The program culminates with a graduation celebration. All graduates receive monetary awards, and one outstanding individual is selected as the Top Scholar — the program’s highest honor.

These meetings can be celebrations of youth voice, graduation celebrations, motivational speakers and other topics that youth and young adults identify as important to them.
