POPPY MUSE
Helping All Women Transform
Mission
Poppy Muse is a 501(c)(3) Non-Profit Organization aiding in the stabilization of young women transitioning out of foster care. We provide webinars, seminars, workshops, transitional advocacy, internships for college credit, potential aid via our Emergency Displacement Fund and more.
Vision
Poppy Muse takes a “You are my sister” approach to building up young women that are currently within the foster care system. We provide services, seminars, workshops and temporary housing. The women we help also include those that have already aged out the system and still need assistance. The world will be inspired by their stories and would be eager to not only be a part of their growth process; but will also have a hand in the minimization of failing youths and young adults in America.
