Episode 097: Interview with Sherrie Weis with YouthCare (Seattle, WA)
In this episode, Lynn Tonini interviews Sherrie Weis, Case Manager at YouthCare in Seattle, Washington. Sherrie described her organization's mission to help homeless youth, many of whom have a connection with or have aged out of foster care. Sherrie's program is a shelter that supports homeless youth between the ages of 12 and 17, but they also have a program for youth over the age of 18. YouthCare strives to build community for the youth; teach life skills while they have them in their programs; help youth identify education, employment, and housing goals; and provide medical support, as needed.
