Pick Power Hour – Featuring Sharon Morris, Managing Director, Voices for Children
Join us for Pick Power Hour, where Riverside’s community comes together to connect, learn, and grow.
Our featured speaker, Sharon Morris, leads Voices for Children (VFC), a nonprofit partnered with the Superior Court that empowers volunteers to serve as Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASAs) for youth in foster care.
Originally from England, Sharon began her U.S. career with Sony Online Entertainment before volunteering as a CASA for five years. She now oversees Riverside County’s VFC division, managing 19 staff members and supporting over 400 volunteers who advocate for 725+ youth.
During this session, Sharon will share insights on:
• The power of mentoring and how guidance can shape both careers and communities.
• Tips and tricks for young professionals navigating their personal and professional journeys.
• Building purpose-driven leadership, and leading with empathy and impact.
