Building your first resume can feel intimidating, especially if you haven’t had a traditional job yet.

Experience isn’t just a paycheck.

It’s showing up to school consistently.
It’s completing group projects.
It’s helping care for siblings.
It’s managing your own schedule, appointments, and responsibilities.
It’s learning how to adapt when life changes.

Those are real skills. And employers value them.

Through our Independent Living Program, we help youth build resumes, practice interviews, and gain the confidence to step into their future.

Your past does not limit your potential. Your next opportunity could start with one page.

First responder culture teaches us to be tough.
Handle it. Push through it. Don’t let it show.

But here’s the truth:

The strongest teams aren’t the ones who stay silent.
They’re the ones who check in.

Peer support isn’t about weakness.
It’s about understanding the weight of the job, from someone who’s carried it too.

It’s the kitchen table conversations after shift.
It’s the “You good?” that actually means something.
It’s reaching out before the stress turns into something heavier.

You don’t have to explain the calls.
You don’t have to justify the impact.
You don’t have to carry it alone.

Real strength is using your team.

If you or someone you serve with needs support, Impact First Responder is here.

Self-care isn’t selfish, it’s essential.

Foster and kinship caregivers give so much of themselves every day. Taking time to rest, recharge, and lean into support helps you continue showing up with strength and stability for the children in your care.

Thinking about becoming a foster parent? You don’t have to do it alone. Support, training, and community are part of the journey.
