Glenda Wright, JD, served as a Kentucky member of iFoster TAY AmeriCorps for three consecutive service years, officially concluding her service in December 2024. Some highlights of her service include mentoring foster youth on college campuses throughout Kentucky and helping to run a new program in partnership with the Kentucky Department for Community Based Services and a non-profit organization, The First Car Project. This program connects foster youth who have aged out of the Kentucky foster care system with their first vehicles, providing them with reliable transportation to support their pathways to success.
After concluding her service, Glenda has remained involved with The First Car Project as a program partner, where she helps facilitate the program and provides training to participants. Most recently, in August, she joined other program partners in Orlando, Florida, to co-present on the program, with hopes of replicating and redesigning the Kentucky model for implementation across the nation.
