Why I Joined the Board: My sister Stefani Lazaro is on the Young Adult Leadership Board and so I joined in part because of her positive experiences working with FAAZ. Also, I want to help others by speaking on behalf of children and youth in foster care. By being on the board I hope to gain more knowledge of community and state resources and services that are available to youth who experienced foster care.
My Passion: I really enjoy hanging out with friends and taking my long board out for rides around the neighborhood. I am also a huge fan of football and am currently on the junior varsity football team at my high school! The physical aspect of the sport as well as working as a team is what I find most enjoyable about playing.
Where I’m Going This Year: This year I hope to enhance my skills as a football player and to get more involved in extracurricular activities.
The Unique Perspective I Bring to the Board: As a football player, in order to perform well and win you have to work as a team. I plan to bring that “team player” mentality to the Young Adult Leadership Board which I feel will help me be an even stronger member.
