In this episode, Lynn Tonini interviews Carolyn Olsen, Executive Director and Co-Founder of Fostering Youth Independence in Santa Clarita, California.

Carolyn also reviewed the variety of activities that they have built into their program to help the young people as they work toward their educational goals. Finally, Lynn and Carolyn discussed the important role that nonprofits play in filling the gaps that aren't currently filled by the foster care system.
