Through working with organizations such as the International Foster Care Alliance, which has afforded him opportunities to learn and exchange information about culture & foster care with other youth/stakeholders in Japan, and FosterClub that has allowed him to experience the work nationally done to enhance capacity for young leaders and key stakeholders. As well, his continued work with the National Youth in Transition Database allows him to see the direct result and impact that the work delivered from different state foster care systems has on the youth and young people they interact with. Eric also serves as a member of the National Foster Care Youth & Alumni Policy Council.
