In addition to her own experience in the foster care system, Shalita possesses over 15 years’ experience working and advocating for youth and alumni of the foster care system. Mrs. O’Neale also holds a Bachelor of Arts in Criminology from the University of Maryland at College Park and a Masters of Social Work from the University of Maryland Baltimore. Shalita’s desire to empower adults from foster care to secure resources to allow them to contribute to the economic development of their communities led her to found the Fostering Change Network Foundation, a nonprofit organization that provides young adults with foster care histories access to human, financial and social capital that will support their personal and professional endeavors in all sectors of the economy while assisting and mentoring other alumni to do the same. It is also the foundation’s goal to increase the numbers of foster youth graduating from post-secondary education and vocational institutions as, according to the most recent research, less than 10 percent of foster youth graduate from college. Through all her personal and professional endeavors, it is Shalita’s ultimate goal to dispel the stigma of foster care by highlighting the contributions of alumni of the foster care and providing them with the resources, tools and peer network that will allow them to excel. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bcaa85ca568270f3b78e039/1560977401533-BGUQBIACV8JCKQGJZI9H/shalita+sofy.jpg New Gallery - Shalita O'Neale FCN Foundation Founder & CEO soneale@fcnfoundation.org 1-800-660-2338 ext. 1 @Thefcnfoundation Fostering Change Network’s expertise in child welfare begins with Founder and CEO Shalita O’Neale, a highly trusted and nationally recognized professional both inside and outside of both social work and foster care circles.
