Through This Together: A Conversation with Kym Renner
In this episode, we speak with Kym Renner—career public servant and sister of actor Jeremy Renner—about her journey from a small-town childhood in Modesto to a life devoted to child welfare and social impact.
Kym shares stories of growing up with Jeremy, witnessing his rise to global fame, and living through the trauma of his near-fatal snowplow accident—an experience that reshaped their family and strengthened their commitment to foster youth.
She shares how they co-founded the RennerVation Foundation in Nevada and built the “Pave Your Way” program to support young people aging out of foster care with housing, life skills, and a real path to adulthood.
And she reflects candidly on the pressures of visibility, the limits of celebrity philanthropy, and why lasting change depends on sustained, community-driven support long after the headlines fade.
