Owen grew up in Point Pleasant, N.J. and began his work in advocacy in 2021. The 19-year-old hopes to learn more about issues like homelessness and mental health. During his time in Washington, D.C. as a Congressional Foster Youth Shadow Day delegate, Owen is interested in learning about federal housing policy and urban planning. A fun fact about Owen is that he loves to take pictures of the sunrise on the beach. His favorite quote is from Epictetus, “No man is free who is not master of himself.”
The National Foster Youth Institute is a youth development organization that lifts up foster youth voices to transform the child welfare system.
