I Pour Life

✨ Meet Our Team ✨

This week, we’re excited to introduce Cat Leonard, our Chafee Manager at I Pour Life who brings deep experience, unwavering advocacy, and a true passion for supporting youth in foster care.

With more than 10 years of experience working within the Chafee program, Cat has dedicated much of her career to walking alongside older youth as they navigate independence and adulthood. Known for her compassionate leadership and commitment to advocating for young people, she brings both wisdom and heart to the work she does every day.

When asked why she works at I Pour Life, Cat shared:
“I Pour Life recently took over the Chafee contract which I have worked under for the last 10 years. I was excited to learn of their innovative approaches to helping older youth! During that time, I had a life-altering medical emergency and IPL leadership were understanding and patient as I healed, which is a testament to their integrity and caring nature. I am grateful to work for such a loving and dynamic organization!”

We’re grateful for the experience, compassion, and advocacy Cat brings to our team and the youth we serve every day.

We want to give a huge congratulations to Jeffrey Bryant on his speaking engagement at RECS 2026 in Washington, DC! We are incredibly grateful for the opportunity to share the mission and impact of I Pour Life on a national level.

Being able to have conversations about empowering youth, strengthening communities, and creating lasting change is an honor we never take for granted. Thank you to everyone who continues to support and believe in the work we do every day.

We’re excited for what’s ahead and thankful for opportunities like this to continue spreading hope, connection, and purpose across the country.
