Episode Details

Helen Carona, a top executive at Associa, is turning her personal passion into powerful action by launching a groundbreaking internship program for young adults aging out of foster care. Partnering with TRAC, the initiative offers real-world experience and confidence-building opportunities at Associa’s Richardson HQ — where one participant, Keon Hollingshed, transformed his life after years of instability. With no safety net and few options, these young people often lack access to opportunity — but Carona believes they’re full of talent and drive, just needing a chance to shine. Hollingshed’s journey proves it: he gained skills, confidence, and even a job offer — showing how this program isn’t just helping individuals, but reshaping futures.
