Lakiesha Hohl, Founder
At an early age, Lakiesha had a great interest in adoption, and wanted to adopt a child of her own one day. She enjoyed working with children at age 16 and sought a job as a youth teacher’s aide with a local YMCA; later becoming a director.
​
After graduating high school, Lakiesha earned her bachelor's degree in human services management, and a master’s degree in psychology. Lakiesha sought a career in the field of ABA therapy, working with children with developmental delays. Through the field of ABA therapy, Lakiesha developed a passion to continue to help at-risk children and began her journey as a social worker. During this time, Lakiesha’s desire increased to help raise awareness for children within the foster care system and developed opportunities for youth who were soon to age out of foster care.
​
Lakiesha’s background includes working with children within the Intensive Services Foster Care (ISFC) Program, Adoption, as well as Social and Adaptive Skills Programs. In 2018, Lakiesha welcomed two beautiful daughters as they became permanent members of her family through adoption. Lakiesha is a wife and a mother of 6 children, who enjoys spending quality time with her family. As a Director and Co-Founder of S & L Foster Family Agency, she is determined to help children within foster care. She inspires to provide opportunities for foster youth and young parents within the system, and to provide them with resources that can equip them for a successful life.
