Carla Trier, who is the founder and executive director of the Sheridan Foster Parent Exchange, is this year’s Compass Champion for Children.
In a recent interview with Sheridan Media, Trier said the experience is very humbling but added she is grateful for the honor. She talked about how she was led to start the Foster Parent Exchange.
Trier said the Foster Parent Exchange was born four months later in her living room.
The exchange is a Christian organization that serves children in crisis by fostering community resources and supplies that help children feel safe, valued and loved. In the eight years since the organization was formed, it has served foster, adoptive and kinship parents and children.
