Rosie Perez, Sherri Saum, Kate Reinders & More Advocate for Foster Youth: You Gotta Believe Gala

Happy Thanksgiving week, friends! Join The Art of Kindness podcast live from You Gotta Believe's 10th Anniversary Fundraiser in NYC for older foster kids. Host Robert Peterpaul chats with: Emmy-nominee Rosie Perez, Sherri Saum (The Fosters, Locke & Key), Charlene Tilton (Dallas), Kate Reinders (High School Musical the Musical: The Series, Wicked), Tony Award-winner J. Harrison Ghee (Some Like It Hot), meteorologist Janice Huff (NBC 4 New York), Jenna Leigh Green (Sabrina the Teenage Witch, Wicked), Alex Temple Ward (Frozen), Anika Larsen (Almost Famous, Beautiful), and hosts Seth Rudetsky and James Wesley Jackson. You Gotta Believe (YGB) exists for one reason... to work toward the day when no young person leaves foster care without the unconditional lifetime commitment of a family. Our goal is to find youth permanent families so that they have the support system they need to live safely and to their highest potential. You Gotta Believe is a national organization based in New York City that focuses exclusively on finding permanent families for older youth in foster care. Since 1995, YGB has worked tirelessly to ensure that no child ages out of the foster care system without the support, love, and stability of a family. Today, nearly 400,000 children are in foster care in the U.S., with around 20,000 aging out annually. Without the stability of a family, these young people face higher risks of homelessness, unemployment, and other hardships. YGB is committed to changing that reality. Since 1995, YGB has trained thousands of parents, licensed over 750 families, and facilitated nearly 400 adoptions of older youth, offering lifelong support to ensure family permanence.

Where Do I Begin?

DreadlockedFairy

Since coming across this podcast a month or so ago, I've fallen head in love with everything about this pod: the concept, the guests, the way the conversations play out, the pieces of insight & wisdom I take from each episode &, most of all, the host, Rob, with all his genuine enthusiasm & revere for his guests &, of course, his kindness!! Usually I only look for/listen to certain episodes of a pod, but AOK has become the 2nd one that I truly follow & I'm always awaiting the newest episode (even though, I have lots of old ones to catch up on). I've shared a specific episode with a friend, but, in general, I've been talking about it with others & have posted about it on IG. Whether I've known the guest's work or not, I haven't heard a bad episode or not taken something from it. Special shout out for covering the Jimmy Awards! I love that so many talented high school students had the opportunity to be interviewed. Thank you to Rob & the entire AOK team are making a unique & exceptional podcast!!
Inspiring and Beautiful
