Vicki Sokolik refuses to be an Ostrich. Her son brought to her attention the crisis of unhoused youth — youth unhoused, not living with a parent/guardian, and not in foster care — in America, and she has been fighting to support this vulnerable population every since. Most active in Tampa Bay, Florida, Vicki is the founder and CEO of the nonprofit Starting Right, Now, which removes barriers for unaccompanied homeless youth to cultivate long-term well-being and self-sufficiency. She is also the author of the new book, “If You See Them: Young, Unhoused, and Alone in America.” Vicki Sokolik joined host Jay Ruderman to discuss the many ways unhoused youth fall through the cracks in our society, how her organization helps them, and also how to build trust with people who could use your help.

I have a face for radio, but you can find me on IG @tashajuli. Behind my smile is my IQ! Fashion and satirical social observations at their finest and funniest! Tearing it up in Beverly Hills, where the people are old, Jewish, Persian, or tourists and more often than not, jerks. I didn’t move here to become a ‘Kardashian’ (I’m an LA native).
