Kevin Brown, a 23 year old alumnus and recent graduate of Clark Atlanta University, found FCAA in 2007. He heard that the It’s My Life conference was being held in his town and he wanted to help. FCAA participated in planning, leading workshops, and hosting the youth and alumni hospitality suite. Kevin shared his talents and energy as a volunteer, and left with a new extended family network of alumni.

“We embraced each other like brothers and sisters from the start. It is an automatic icebreaker to share that common background of foster care,” said Kevin.

Kevin participated in Alumni Leadership Institute training and congressional visits, and was one of 25 alumni who shared Thanksgiving dinner at the US Capitol. “It was amazing to be together,” Kevin says, “There were alumni from different places and of all ages, and everybody was okay—we were not the stereotypes about foster care.”

As a younger alumnus, Kevin joined FCAA through our waiver program and said, “Thank you to those members who contribute to the waiver program. You made it possible for me to be able to join and to find all of these people and opportunities.”
