For some high school students, extracurricular activities include basketball or debate club. For Leila and Noa Kashfian, two cousins at Brentwood School, extracurriculars are a way to give back. The seniors started a club dedicated to supporting foster youth in Los Angeles in 2020, when they were sophomores. The club holds fundraisers for foster care groups and works to educate others about the foster care system.
“We both wanted to bring awareness to a cause that we felt is not spoken about enough,” Leila said. “Our club at school serves as a way to give back to the Los Angeles community and help children and young adults in need.”
