7:00 PM | Keynote Address Every Kid is One Caring Adult Away From Being a Success Story Merrill Auditorium
Josh Shipp
“Statistically, I am supposed to be dead, in jail, or homeless. At 14, I’d been kicked out of so many foster homes that it became a game to me. I acted out because I didn’t trust anyone, and I didn’t expect that to change any time soon. So, how come I didn’t end up yet another statistic? The Answer: One Caring Adult.” – Josh Shipp
Josh had a challenging childhood and bounced around in foster homes until a handful of caring adults reach out to him. He now strives to pass this knowledge on as an author (the national bestseller “The Teen’s Guide to World Domination”,) as an acclaimed speaker, and through a documentary TV series that followed his ground-breaking work with teens.
