Foster youth face complex challenges when transitioning into adulthood. In this episode, CASA of Prince George’s County Executive Director Yolanda Johnson shares how community-based advocacy, wraparound services, and cross-sector partnerships drive real impact. Highlighting the legacy of the CASA model and personal leadership journey, Johnson outlines how CASA empowers volunteers, supports life transitions for older youth, and builds strategic partnerships to help foster youth succeed in education, career, and life.
