Syd (he/him) is a transgender male who came into the Casa Q program after three years of living in and out of foster placement. Syd asked his CYFD case worker to find him an LGBTQ+ friendly placement and found Casa Q.
Once at Casa Q, he began to focus on his education and was able to choose where he wanted to attend high school — ultimately choosing the school that was the best fit for him. This educational freedom empowered him to campaign and WIN as the new Student Body President at his school of choice!
Syd takes pride in his progress and loves Casa Q’s one-on-one support. He is engaged in therapy to address his trauma and system abuse. Syd loves the Casa Q program structure, and the queer supports Casa Q offers.
