The Los Angeles Shadow Day Delegation

The 2025 Los Angeles Shadow Day delegation builds the bridge between lived experience and policymaking — trailblazing NFYI’s local systems change. After months of advocacy, leadership, and policy training, delegates apply what they’ve learned to hands-on civic engagement and partnership, providing elected officials with direct insight into the systems that impact foster youth.

Regional Coordinator Supporters

After Delegates have served as Regional Coordinators, the next step in their Shadow Day journey is becoming Regional Coordinator Supporters. Regional Coordinator Supporters are there to offer guidance and support to our Regional Coordinators as they transition from the role of student to mentor.
