What if teens and young adults aging out of foster care had the necessary opportunities, education and support to take control of their own lives?

In this episode of Think Bigger Voices, host Jennie Treby sits down with Effie Santos of Madi's Movement to discuss how her nonprofit is breaking barriers and helping young adults thrive.

Did you know?
🚗 Less than 1% of foster teens supported by Madi’s Movement come in with a driver’s license — a gap that limits access to school, jobs and healthcare. Through mentorship, resources and tailored programs, Madi’s Movement empowers teens to gain independence and stability.

Madi’s Movement isn’t about one-size-fits-all solutions — it’s about equipping young adults with the life skills and guidance they need to create a strong foundation for the future.
