We're proud to present this Pride-centric panel presented by CASA-NYC on how we can all work to support LGBTQIA+ foster youth.

The panel is hosted by Steven Baker, VP of development at Candle Media. Friend and guest of the podcast David Ambroz shares his story of homelessness and being a queer youth in foster care. Chef Brieanna Hayes, former CASA fellow, also speaks on her experience and her work now. Steven Gordon, director of LGBTQ+ Equity Strategies at NYC's Administration of Children's Services, talks how we can continue to create affirming and inclusive spaces.
