SFCASA Visits Grace Cathedral for Lost Childhoods Exhibit
On Monday, October 19, SFCASA staff took a short field trip to visit Grace Cathedral, where the Foster Youth Museum is showing its Lost Childhoods exhibit
The exhibit highlights the work of one of our most important partners in the community of foster youth advocacy: California Youth Connections (CYC). CYC helps current and former foster youth find their place at the forefront of policy and decisions being made on behalf of young people within the dependency system. CYC empowers and trains youth to be agents of change within their community. We have witnessed the incredible impact this organization has had on so many of the young people SFCASA serves, giving them an outlet to use their voice and to regain power over their lives.
