Ronald – Foster Care Teen, Advocate, and Volunteer

May 1, 2012

May is National Foster Care Awareness and The Teen Toolbox will dedicate our blog as a platform for teen males in the foster care system to share their stories of triumph and success.

 

Ronald Hennig is focused, motivated, and wise beyond his years.  He is a soon to-be 18 year old male in the United States foster care system in the state of New Jersey.  Ronald is a strong advocate for older youth in the system.  He is especially passionate about raising awareness about the challenges that teen males in the foster care system face.  In fact, Ronald agreed to be featured on The Teen Toolbox blog because he believes that teen males in foster care are an especially neglected population.  I agree.
