The BOSS Bus

Fostering futures through belonging, opportunity, success and support.

Who

Community partners willing to foster futures by expanding visions, providing opportunities, developing interests and passions, and showing support.

Why
Due to generational cycles of addiction, abuse and neglect, youth experiencing foster care often lack positive role models. Your support fosters hope for the future and paves the way for youth to become the boss of their life.

How
Welcome vulnerable youth into your business to share job insight, tips on work/life balance & self care, create memories, and show how you build community & connection.

Donations and Volunteers

Your support through time and/or money will help foster hope for the future. Consider donating to support the BOSS Bus mission or contacting Nikki Mackay to find out how your company can get involved.
