Meet Sharon Dunlevy, MA,DMin
Educational Advocate and Your Partner in Foster Care Success
I empower foster parents to become powerful educational advocates, ensuring every foster child receives the support they need to succeed. With over 2,050 foster parents trained and 6,150 children's lives impacted, we are scaling a proven model of change nationwide — and we're just getting started.
I use my voice and platform to shift systems and spark action. As a speaker, writer, and advocate, I mobilize audiences at conferences and in the community to champion better outcomes for foster youth. My articles and talks deliver practical tools and real stories that inspire foster families and challenge the status quo.
This movement is growing—and I’m leading it forward.
