<p><font color="#333333" face="Times New Roman">From growing up in foster homes to
earning two college degrees, Schylar Canfield-Baber has now been honored by Gov.
Steve Bullock.</font></p>
<p><font color="#333333" face="Times New Roman">Canfield-Baber, 32, is one of
seven recipients of the statewide 2016 ServeMontana outstanding volunteer
service award, whittled down from 60 individuals and organizations nominated by
the public last year.</font></p>
<p><font color="#333333" face="Times New Roman">An energetic, articulate advocate
for youth foster care, he works with students shooting for a college education
as outreach manager for the Student Assistant Foundation out of his office
located on the fourth floor of Butte High School.</font></p>
<div class="tnt-ads-container text-center hidden-sm hidden-md hidden-lg">
<div id="fixed-big-ad-top-mobile" class="tnt-ads dfp-ad" data="/8438/mtstandard.com/education"></div></div>
<p><font color="#333333" face="Times New Roman">Just as he has a mountain of
information to share with college-bound seniors and students who may need other
outreach services, Carolynn Bright, SAF communications director in Helena, can’t
say enough about the 2002 Helena High graduate:</font></p>
<p><font color="#333333" face="Times New Roman">“Schylar is an incredibly talented
man who is a valued member of the Student Assistance Foundation team. We, and
the students of southwest Montana, are fortunate that he chooses to live and
work here.</font></p>
<p><font color="#333333" face="Times New Roman">“Having overcome tremendous
obstacles as a young person himself, Schylar is an outstanding advocate for
student success, especially for students who are growing up in the foster care
system.”</font></p>
<p><font color="#333333" face="Times New Roman">His outreach spans southwest
Montana, where he’s often on the road conducting financial aid nights at 10 high
schools, three college campuses and a dozen partner organizations in eight
counties.</font></p>
<p><font color="#333333" face="Times New Roman">He’s a force to reckon with, as he
parlayed his tough experiences growing up as a foster child into exemplary
service and dedication.</font></p>
<p><font color="#333333" face="Times New Roman">“Growing up in foster care has
impacted every aspect of my life,” Canfield-Baber told The Standard. “I have an
ability to support young people going through very difficult and sometimes
unstable situations. I am more dedicated to helping underserved populations and
believe that every person matters, as well as their opinions.”</font></p>
<p><font color="#333333" face="Times New Roman">A spokesman for others in the
foster care system, he serves on FosterClub boards, Childwise Institute and the
Protect Montana’s Kids Commission, among other boards. Previously, he was
president of the Board of Directors of Montana CASA, or Court Appointed Special
Advocates.</font></p>
<div class="tnt-ads-container text-center hidden-sm hidden-md hidden-lg">
<div id="fixed-big-ad-middle-mobile" class="tnt-ads dfp-ad" data="/8438/mtstandard.com/education"></div></div>
<p><font color="#333333" face="Times New Roman">Six individuals and one department
won the ServeMontana award, but Canfield-Baber was the only person from Butte to
do so.</font></p>
<p><font color="#333333" face="Times New Roman">The governor lauded all recipients
last week at the state Capitol for their “dedication and commitment to service”
and for “greatly” enhancing civic life in Montana. The Montana Commission on
Community Service made final selections.</font></p>
<p><font color="#333333" face="Times New Roman">As a foster child, Canfield-Baber
bounced from home to home and school to school. He started living on his own at
age 16 through an AWARE independent living program.</font></p>
<p><font color="#333333" face="Times New Roman">“I was very surprised I got the
award,” he said. “I experienced just as much trauma within the system as I did
from my abusive biological family. For me, my volunteer and advocacy work are
almost therapeutic. Many foster youth aren’t as resilient as I have been, and
need someone to advocate on their behalf.”</font></p>
<p><font color="#333333" face="Times New Roman">His talent lies in paying it
forward.</font></p>
<p><font color="#333333" face="Times New Roman">“Most importantly — I have
developed strong coping and survival skills that I am able to pass on to those I
work with,” he added. “To me, it is about helping people help
themselves.”</font></p></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>
