Arlene spent time in foster care as a child, and today uses her experience to empower youth and improve the foster care experience in Ohio and the nation.  She currently serves as President of Daybreak, Inc. Youth Advisory Board in Dayton and volunteers in many other capacities in the community, including the Montgomery County Juvenile Court CASA program.
