Empowering Foster Youth through Education:
The Vision of Novelette Bowen
Introduction: Meet Novelette Bowen, a remarkable individual whose life’s work is dedicated to reshaping the futures of children in the foster care community. As a proud graduate of a Historically Black College or University (HBCU) with a degree in Human Services, and an accomplished Education Coach, Novelette stands as a beacon of hope and change. Her pivotal role as the creator and Executive Director of Ruby’s Enlightened Path, operating under Ruby’s Foster Village BookClub, a 501(c)(3) approved nonprofit organization, underscores her commitment to this cause. Novelette’s journey is not just professional; it’s personal. As both a mother and a foster mother, she intimately understands the challenges and needs of children in foster care.
Section 1: A Bridge for Change Novelette Bowen’s mission extends beyond traditional support; she aims to serve as a bridge, connecting foster children with educational opportunities that can fundamentally alter their life trajectories. Her focus is not just on immediate needs but on long-term empowerment through education. She envisions communities where foster youth are not only supported but also encouraged to pursue and achieve their educational goals.
Section 2: The Stark Reality The necessity of Novelette’s work is grounded in sobering statistics:
- 70% of children in foster care aspire for a good education, yet less than 3% achieve higher education.
- Annually, 30,000 youths age out of foster care with insufficient educational outcomes, leading to limited opportunities.
- This lack of support and opportunity contributes to high rates of homelessness, unemployment, recidivism, and susceptibility to sex trafficking among former foster youth.
Conclusion: A Call to Action Novelette Bowen’s mission is encapsulated in the powerful words of Malcolm X: “Education is the passport to the future, for tomorrow belongs to those who prepare for it today.” This mission is not just Novelette’s; it’s a call to action for all of us. By joining forces, we have the power to change the narrative for foster youth, providing them with the education and opportunities they deserve to build a brighter future. The question Novelette Bowen poses to each of us is simple yet profound: Will you join in making this change?
