Hi, I’m Nathaniel Williams, the newly appointed Deputy Director of the Wyoming Foster Care Youth and Alumni Policy Council (WPC). After spending eight years in Wyoming’s foster care system, I’ve dedicated my life to youth advocacy, leadership, and creating meaningful change for young people with lived experience in foster care. Throughout my journey, I’ve served as a spokesperson for AdoptUSKids, Outreach Coordinator for CASA of Laramie County, President of the Wyoming Youth Advisory Council, and a Governor-appointed member of the State Advisory Council on Juvenile Justice. Before stepping into my new role with WPC, I proudly served as the 3rd Deputy Director of Threads of Hope, following Samantha Cheshire, who succeeded me and became the organization's 4th Deputy Director. I’m honored to now lead the WPC in elevating the voices of Wyoming’s foster youth and alumni, working alongside state agencies and community partners to make meaningful policy recommendations and improve the child welfare system. My mission is to ensure that lived experience is heard, valued, and translated into positive change for the next generation.
