Teresa is a natural leader, a gifted orator, a skilled fundraiser, and most importantly, a fierce advocate for unaccompanied children. We are overjoyed that she has agreed to take her long-time support of the Young Center to the next level by serving as the Board President. Teresa first became involved with the Young Center while a student at the University of Chicago Law School where she served as a Child Advocate. Since that time, Teresa has remained a passionate supporter and has worked to raise awareness of our mission.
