Brayden Boyce

Brayden is a dedicated advocate for youth in the foster care system in Oregon. At 22 years old, he has experienced over 27 placements in various settings, including homelessness, MTF, and multiple group homes. Despite these challenges, Brayden has become a strong voice for change.

 

He is actively involved with organizations like Youth Villages to provide support and education for youth aging out of care. He has organized events, led community hikes, and spoken at conferences to help young people feel empowered and informed about their rights.

 

Brayden works in environmental conservation/stewardship; he is a proud member of MAD Bears LLC and Four Directions Ironworks. He is dedicated to providing a learning space for unregistered youth, registered youth, and their cultural traditions regarding land/food sovereignty, sustainable land stewardship practices, and cultural ceremonies that follow traditional values and heritage that has been lost.
