    Futures for foster youth – Jeff & Galadriel Coury

    Jeff Coury had a vision of helping foster youth living in group homes – he wanted them to become “the heroes of their own lives.” He got together with a couple of friends, and in 2023 the Fostering Heroes Foundation was born. The focus is to deliver mentorship, life skills and experiences to provide kids aging out of the foster system with the skills, beliefs, encouragement – and love – necessary to succeed. More than that, the goal is to reach out not just sometimes, but reach out each and every day. Keynote of the program is the Future Heroes Summer Camp, that provides a blend of personal growth, skill development, and outdoor adventure in Northern Arizona. This year, Jeff passed the baton of leadership to his daughter, Galadriel Coury, who left her job as a math teacher to take the organization to the next level. Today, she is leading the organization to educate, empower, and encourage foster youth as they transition into adulthood.

    Refurbish, Reuse, Recycle and Learn – Jared Bodine

    We sometimes think the issues raised through growing technology as a negative. But Jared Bodine leads an organization that addresses the challenge of castoff computers, and creates a win/win/win situation, by refurbishing them, reusing them, recycling parts, and doing it all while teaching students marketable skills. In the past year alone, Arizona Students Recycling Used Technology – AZ StRUT – has: Refurbished and distributed 9,041 computers. Prevented 1,098,513 pounds of discarded electronics from becoming landfill waste. Distributed $642,758 worth of refurbished equipment to individuals and organizations.  If that’s not enough, the organization’s Techie Camps not only introduce students to the world of computing and technology, but allow participants to take a refurbished computer home to use!

    Hope through connections – Kim Vehon

    Kimberly Vehon is the proud mom of seven children, four of whom experienced Arizona’s foster care system. She’s also the grateful wife to an amazing husband that supports and encourages her to dream big and change the world. As a foster parent who was preparing to adopt, Kimberly was haunted by the reality of more than 13,000 children still waiting in foster care. Then one day during her morning commute, an idea struck—she could share their stories through video to raise awareness. This sparked the creation of Foster Arizona. From those first few videos in 2013, the organization has grown to offer hope through connections and systemic advocacy. Programs include: Young Adult Housing – Safe housing and resources for foster youth ages 18–24 transitioning into adulthood. Kid Initiatives – Providing fun, connection, and essentials for foster children and families. Foster Cooperative – An online community connecting foster parents, caregivers, and organizations to resources, peer support, and training. Education Initiatives – Real Stories, Fostering Voices podcast, and videos connecting the public to foster care realities. Advocacy – Using Foster Arizona’s platform to support systematic changes for children and families impacted by foster care. Foster Arizona was born out of a belief that one person can make a difference simply by bringing their talents, heart, and connections to the table and engaging others to do the same.

    Supporting moms thru cancer – Lauren Daniels

    Lauren Daniels was diagnosed with breast cancer at age 35 when her youngest child was just one month old. She had to have three surgeries over a four month span of time, and there were many challenging days during her recovery. She wasn’t able to lift her baby for months after her surgeries. Despite all that, just six months after her diagnosis she founded the Happily Ever After League (HEAL) to provide support to local mothers fighting cancer. Forming the nonprofit drove her to put her focus on helping others. It is no wonder the acronym is HEAL – it became an important part of her own healing process. HEAL distributes monies to mothers with cancer who have at least one child living at home, to help pay for groceries, gas, utilities, and medical bills. Additional support is offered to newly diagnosed moms through back-to-school outreach, holiday gift programs and farmer’s market days at the Healing Farm. The farm’s residents include mini horses Butch and Chance, mini donkeys Louie and Diego … and a mini pig named Lord Hamilton.

    Empowering our youth – Sam Fowler

    Sam Fowler once began a student body president election speech in sixth grade by saying, “I’d like to demonstrate my greatest skill.” Then, he stood there and said nothing. “Listening. That’s right, listening,” were the next words out of his mouth. Since that time, he’s been listening to people tell their stories… and then encouraging them find ways to participate in stories bigger than themselves.  He also has had two complementary careers. First, as a pastor,  including starting a non-traditional community of faith through partnership with a NASCAR track; and then for the past 17 years working with Boys & Girls Clubs in Idaho and Arizona. Sam continues to touch lives with the organization that’s roots date back to 1860. They have provided a safe haven for more than 3 million youth, giving them an opportunity to discover their great futures.

  6. Untangling who you are – Michele Collier

    Untangling who you are – Michele Collier

    When Michele Collier’s two young children were diagnosed with autism, she already suspected she was also on the spectrum. She knew she was “different” - uncomfortable in social situations and exhausted by social interaction by the end of the day. As an adult, late diagnosis autism is often a relief, and a step toward understanding how your neurodivergence makes you handle things differently. Michele’s reaction was to start sharing her journey on TikTok, as a way of processing what she was learning. What she didn’t anticipate was the reception her videos would receive, not just across the country – but around the world. Reactions range from, “I’ve never felt so understood,” to “Oh. My. God. You just connected SO MANY DOTS,” and “I’ve been white-knuckling it through life. Your videos are saving me.” Michele has expanded to Instagram, where she’s already earned 48,000 followers in 10 months. Some of her posts have received up to 9 million views. This is a show you don’t want to miss. If you’ve ever wondered if you or someone in your family deals with autism, this will resonate with you. If you haven’t, you really must listen in to learn more about what neurodivergence means to people you know and what a gift these people are in your life.

    Leading those who lead – Cathryn Richards

    Cathryn Richards likes to say she came to the Arizona State Parks and Trails department “inadvertently,” following 20 years leading volunteers with law enforcement in Colorado and again with the Department of Economic Security in Phoenix, serving the disadvantaged and those living on the streets. Those experiences made Cathryn the perfect person to take on the role of the Parks’  Volunteer Program Manager. Her mission is to equip and support thousands of  volunteers, from those who spend a couple of hours a week working in a park store or leading interpretive hikes to campground hosts who live onsite. There are more than 30 parks throughout the state, from the high-country Ponderosa forests, to lush riversides and colorful deserts spotted with saguaros. Some of the roles may be different than you expect. Volunteers take part in reenactments, bringing history to life for park visitors. Those handy with tools help with general maintenance and small construction projects. There are always administrative roles and entry station support to help visitors’ first park experience be positive. Other volunteers help conduct research, create displays and work with scout and youth groups. Cathryn has a gift for coordinating all those positions, and ensuring the experience is positive for volunteers and a tremendous support to the parks. The state parks, with the help of those volunteers, work as a team to connect people with the outdoors and history of Arizona, to build a lifetime of memories.
