Schylar Baber is the executive director of Voice for Adoption. Schylar has dedicated his professional and volunteer life to the belief that children and youth in the child welfare system need respect, support, and family. He has served as president of the board of Montana Court Appointed Special Advocates and is currently on the board of the ChildWise Institute, FosterClub, and the Protect Montana’s Kids Commission. From 2005 to 2009, Schylar was a leader at FosterClub, where he served as a program coordinator. Most recently, he served as outreach manager for the Student Assistance Foundation. Schylar’s commitment to improving the futures of children and youth in care is due, in large part, to his own life experiences. He spent 12 years in foster care before aging out without a family. When he was 25, his mentor and sixth-grade teacher adopted him. Schylar believes that serving, as the executive director of Voice for Adoption will allow him to continue his life’s goal of serving vulnerable—but resilient—young people.
