Sabrina is a New York native who has lived experience within the foster care system. Her advocacy efforts began while she was still a youth in foster care, as she began to see and understand the deep flaws within the child welfare system.
“I made it my personal responsibility to become a voice for my peers. Advocating for them and myself deepened my conviction and helped me understand that there is no such thing as a ‘broken child’, only a broken system, a system that needs to be reformed,” she said.
The National Foster Youth Institute is a youth development organization that lifts up foster youth voices to transform the child welfare system.
