Community
BEXAR COUNTY
CoFounder and CFO of Uniting America Outreach (501c3 nonprofit), Josey's leadership skills and military training help lead a team of youth volunteers to provide support and resources to our communities in need. They were "boots- on the ground" during SNOVID 2021, delivering food and water to thousands of vulnerable residents.
CIUDAD ACUNA, MEXICO
Since the arrival of over 15,000 migrants to the U.S./Mexico border in September 2021, Josey and the UAO team continue to conduct regular International Humanitarian Missons to Ciudad Acuna, Mexico lending aid to thousands of Haitian, African, and Latin American peoples who walked for 6 months through the jungles to reach the "freedom land", the United States of America.
Foster Care
Having experienced the hopelessness of the foster care system as a young child, Josey is dedicated to policies that protect children in the system and those who age-out. Serious reform is needed to provide placement, support, and hope for the future. Josey currently mentors and advocates for at-risk youth.
