At Pivotal, we see incredible potential in the foster youth we work with every day. We know how important it is to provide support and encouragement at every step of their academic and professional journey. This month let’s show these young people that they have a community rallying behind them, and that they are not alone.
This May, we’re highlighting the voices that make Pivotal what it is. “I Am Pivotal” centers the scholars, alumni, coaches, partners, and supporters who create opportunity for young people in foster care. Each story shows that impact comes from people, and reflects a shared commitment to growth, resilience, and access.

“I am Pivotal because I’m using my own experiences to support and advocate for other foster youth so they know they are not alone.” |
“I am Pivotal because I empower scholars to see and build on their inner strengths. Through coaching, I help them find their voice, support their sense of purpose, and push them to achieve their goals and become self-sufficient.” |
"I am Pivotal because real change happens when we show up and open doors together. Building confidence, access, and a future they can truly own is something we can all be part of." |
"I am Pivotal because I’m part of a community of foster care alumni who chose to build something together, a space where we are seen, supported, and never have to navigate adulthood alone." |
