Hough | Youth and Families
Orlando J. Boyd founded the Orlando Labyrinthian Egress Organization. The Organization serves adolescent youth and those approaching or who have already exited the foster care system and are no longer eligible for services. It supports this “aged out” community by helping them identify benefits they are entitled to, as well as navigate the system. The Organization also provides creative ways to approach life after foster care through life skills, coaching, and positive expression utilizing the arts (poetic, musical, dance and artistic creation and/or performance). The Organization’s ultimate desire is to provide the participants the tools to take advantage of available programs, recognize their gifts and talents, identify appropriate routes to accomplish their goals, develop a commitment to become a greater asset to society and then feed back into the community. Orlando also has a passion to help the fatherless, primarily males, build self-esteem and self-awareness.
