This evening we interview Jessica Maxwell, the Coordinator of the New York State Youth In Care Coalition, an entity started by the Children’s Aid Society here in New York City. Jessica was a former youth in care herself who was brought on by the CAS as the Coalitions first Coordinator after she graduated Hunter College with her Master’s of Science in Urban Affairs. Jessica is a strong advocate of youth in care completing their education and she shares her heartfelt story about her years in care as well. Pat O’Brien hosts this program today. Play Radio Show Here
