Wesley Davenport

Wesley Davenport, Youth Advisor for the Initiative's San Diego site – LEAP (Leadership Empowers All Possibilities) – was honored recently for his music that is being used in trainings for new social workers to help convey the feelings of youth in foster care. Davenport was honored at the STARS breakfast sponsored by the San Diego County Commission on Children Youth and Families and other partners to honor community champions. Davenport's award was for youth leadership, which honors a youth leader's work commitment to supporting and protecting children and youth in our community. Davenport also performed his music at the STARS breakfast. County Supervisor Greg Cox and District Attorney Bonnie Dumanis opened the April 28 event at the Hilton San Diego Resort and highlighted the fact that San Diego has been chosen to pilot many evidence- based programs, including Family Finding and programs concerning abused and neglected children at the Chadwick Center at Children's Hospital in San Diego.
