"The initiatives in the executive order gives me tremendous pride, Melania said, and the effort was both empathetic and strategic. I call on leadership from these various organizations, including the private sector, to join my effort, Melania said from the East Room before an audience that included lawmakers, cabinet officials and members of the foster-care community. The first lady added: Rise above the ease of inaction."
"The broader Fostering the Future initiative is an offshoot of the Be Best campaign that was her signature issue during Trump's first term. The initiative began in 2021 and offers scholarships to current and former foster youth. Participating schools include Vanderbilt University, the University of Miami, Villanova University and Oral Roberts University, according to the first lady's office. The president, said he was delighted to sign the initiative."
Melania Trump is leading a Fostering the Future program created by an executive order to improve career and education opportunities for children raised in foster care. The program brings together federal entities, nonprofits, educational institutions and the private sector to develop opportunities for foster youth. The order creates an online hub to connect foster youth with career and educational resources and increases access to vouchers and grants. The initiative grew from the Be Best campaign, offers scholarships to current and former foster youth at multiple universities, and involves several federal agencies.
