S3E5: The “Schism’s” and the “Isms” Within Foster Care
05/29/23 • 28 min
REFCA Champion Carloe Moser discusses the ways that the Crosby Scholars LIGHHT Program in Winston-Salem, North Carolina helps young people living in foster care see a light at the end of the tunnel while facing racism, classism, conflict, and discord; to give them hope and a way forward.
Carloe has seen the way the streets can be a battlefield. The way they can prevent youth in foster care from dreaming about and/or applying to college. That battlefield is where he works every day. It’s where he shares his wisdom and lived expertise with youth. And, where he focuses on changing the foster care narrative.
Welcome back to INNOVATE! for Season Three! This season, host Angela Tucker highlights REFCA Champions who are inspiring a Re-Envisioning of Foster Care in America. These visionary leaders are using their wisdom, expertise and lived experiences in foster care to transform the foster care narrative from Alaska to New York, California to Missouri, the Pacific Northwest to New England.
