Foster Care Project Presents David Ambroz in conversation with Judge Margaret Henry (Ret.) about A Place Called Home.

Tuesday, May 14, at 7:00 p.m. in Sweetland Hall.

David Ambroz, a national poverty and child welfare expert and advocate, will discuss his memoir, A Place Called Home, with Judge Margaret Henry, who established and presided over the 18-and-up Courtroom in LA County, a pioneering, first-of-its-kind court designed to address the needs of young people in extended foster care, ages 18 to 21.

David was recognized by President Obama as an American Champion of Change and currently serves as the Head of Community Engagement (West) for Amazon. He has served as president of the Los Angeles City Planning Commission as well as a California Child Welfare Council member. Judge Henry served as Supervising Judge of the LA County Dependency Court from Edmund D. Edelman Children’s Court for 10 years, and was honored by the LA County Board of Supervisors for her “vision and leadership” when she retired  in 2019 after 18 years on the bench. Don’t miss this inspiring discussion! Books will be available for purchase.
