Celebrating Freedom & Authenticity
In honor of Juneteenth, our RESPOND team is attending multiple community events to spread the word about our culturally competent approach to foster care. In our region, 70% of youth in foster care are Black/African American, compared to 35% of the general population.
Pride, Possibility & Purpose
Our commitment to serving all young people in foster care based on their unique needs extends across all aspects of our work. This includes ensuring safe and supportive environments for the approximately 30% of youth in foster care who identify as LGBTQIA+. Our Older Youth Empowerment Specialist, Madison Brown, plays a key role in advancing this work by prioritizing supports that foster long-term emotional and social well-being.
