Tell us about your time on the YE4C Editorial Board.

I was nominated for the editorial board by someone I had worked with on foster care advocacy work. I was interested in the position, so I applied. During my time on the board, I helped create and review content. I’ve learned a lot about being an editor and making sure shared resources are credible. We did a lot of work with COVID-19 and it was impactful to know our work was going to help a lot of people. Looking back, the biggest thing I did was just learn. I learned how many topics YE4C offers. I appreciate that it is an online resource you can go to any time and is so youth friendly. I learned about other federal agencies. I didn’t know a lot about some of them so being able to work together with them on projects was interesting and powerful. I can’t thank YE4C enough for the growth and experience I got from working on the Editorial Board.
