Dashawn aka “Coach Energy” was recently recognized for his amazing efforts in advocacy in the last 4 years at the Center for Fair Futures. While he moves on to greater things at NYC ACS we won’t forget the impact he’s made in our lives. And we hope you don’t either!

#Throwback Last week’s Day of Action was powerful at the New York State Capitol. YAB Director Tony Da Realest, YAB members, and other foster youth leaders joined allies and lawmakers to demand an end to the dehumanizing use of trash bags as luggage in the foster care system.
