Recent University of South Carolina graduate James Williams is spending his summer on Capitol Hill advocating for changes to the system that defined his childhood. Williams was one of 15 college students from across the nation selected for the Congressional Coalition on Adoption Institute’s Foster Youth Internship Program, a program for young adults who have spent time in the foster care system. Williams and the CCAI hope to raise policy makers’ awareness of the needs and viewpoints of those who have experienced foster care. A native of Lancaster, S.C., Williams spent 18 years in the foster care system, moving from home to home and school to school. Less than 50 percent of children in the foster care system graduate from high school. Williams graduated from Lancaster High School in 2010, but he didn’t stop there. With 31 credit hours from AP classes under his belt, he entered USC as a sophomore and graduated with a degree in philosophy and social work in 2012. He begins studying at Florida Coastal School of Law in the fall — at the early age of 19 years.
