Just in Time hit the links with the Eagles Organization
Meet Just in Time’s New Team Members!
Just in Time recently hit the links for the Eagles Golf Classic in Jamul! The Eagles Organization has been a consistent and committed supporter of Just in Time youth, providing mentorship and guidance to many young adults impacted by foster care. Just in Time participant Michael Rincon Bonillas spoke at the post-tournament luncheon about the important role relationships play on the path to self-sufficiency for young people, like him, who have spent time in the foster care system.
“My journey is one that has been shaped by the challenges of growing up as part of the foster care system, and it’s a journey that wouldn’t have been possible without the crucial support of organizations like Just in Time for Foster Youth and The Eagles.”

Introducing Just in Time’s Newest Staff Members!
“JIT’s mission and proven impact is essential and life-changing for young adults leaving the system. Youth enter the system because of abuse or neglect but unfortunately, the system itself is not designed to provide them with a network of support from which they can build their lives and gain independence. I am honored to join an organization that focuses every day on being part of the solution.”
Carolyn Griesemer
Managing Director
“I want to serve youth like me who have been impacted by the foster care system. I kind of got my life together when I was 17 and I know that there are a lot of youth at JIT who still need that help. Growing our mental health community here is my passion and something I’m very excited about.”
Gino Russo
Mental Wellness Administrative Coordinator
“I’m excited to strengthen the alumni community here at Just in Time, to make it meaningful and intentional. And I already feel so supported and loved by my supervisor and mentor, JIT Chief Advocacy & Community Empowerment Officer Simone Hidds-Monroe.”
Anita Duong
Alumni Connection Coordinator
