United by shared experiences and an unwavering pursuit of excellence, our Youth Advisory Council is peer-driven, empowering former foster and homeless youth to help shape our future. Together, we reflect on successes, identify needs, foster innovation, educate the public, advocate and improve Place of Hope. We strive to influence the overall system of care, today and into the future illuminating a path towards a brighter future.
