The Teen Project is a non-profit organization that is dedicated to providing services to children who have emanciapted out of The Foster Care System, at age 18.  Most foster care kids, have no family, no jobs, no job skills, no car, no money, and no place to live when they are emancipated.  The Teen Project is working to change that, by providing housing, college/vocational training, and other services in a substance-free environment.  We recently had Lauri Burns, founder of The Teen Project on our show, to help promote their benefit concert at The Knitting Factory in Hollywood, designed to raise awareness and funding for this organization.
