Foster Progress’s communications system sends SMS/MMS text messages to participants who “opt-in” to increase communications efficiency with mentoring program participants and create awareness of educational resources and programmatic events which are planned to support and create community with students and mentors. SMS/MMS messages are sent using automated technology and manually sent messages. Please note that your cellular carrier may apply data rates to texts you receive. Users may opt-out of text communication anytime by replying STOP to any text message.
