Yankee Tickets for Sharonda who loves to hang out with her friends

Posted Aug 6, 2019
Sharonda is apart of a special group of young adults that we have served as their CASA advocates at some point, if not still working with them while in care. They are a cohort that we've trained and supervised to facilitate panel presentations around the city ( and even state) to share their stories of having been in the foster care system in hopes of creating change and reform. They would like to try and attend a game as a group as a community builder either on 8/16 and 8/30.

Sharonda is 27 years old and lives in NY

Sharonda has been making waves in the foster care community since before she aged out! Her and her twin sister are known by everyone in ACS as the ultra-advocates; they are masterful for knowing and teaching youth rights to everyone they meet! Sharonda has been working for ACS herself to promote reform and change in the system. Sharonda's experience in care was unique, in which she was with one family until she was 18 when she entered into the cycle of homes again. She was separated from her twin sister in this process. Through this, she learned her rights quickly and was unafraid to ask and research. Since aging out of care, Sharonda still works closely with CASA. She has been involved in the NYC Hackathon, helping create several websites for foster youth to teach themselves all sorts of topics!

"George Steinbrenner said, “Surround yourself with amazingly intelligent men & women. The people I work with not only are smarter than I am, possessing both intellectual & emotional intelligence, but also share determination to succeed. I will not make an important decision without them.” Look at the others with you at the game. You are all the intelligent men & women George spoke about. Continue making positive changes in your lives & in the universe. Enjoy the game & of course…Go Yanks!! – “T”"
