There are over half a million homeless unaccompanied youth in the U.S. and almost a fifth of that number are in Florida alone. On this episode, we're speaking with Vicki Sokolik, the founder of Starting Right, Now. She shares the story of what inspired her to create the organization, which is just as extraordinary as the tireless work she’s doing to end youth homelessness.
We also chat with her son, Cameron Sokolik, who has been working with Starting Right, Now for as long as he can remember. He’s a grant writer for SRN and co-hosts Raising Me, a podcast where these remarkable youths can share their stories on their own terms. You’ll hear a few emotional excerpts from SRN students Sergio, Aja, and Lincoln too.
