All of us at The Children’s Aid Society are saddened to hear of the passing of Judge Judith Kaye,” said Phoebe C. Boyer, the organization’s president and CEO. “Throughout her illustrious career, Judge Kaye was a fierce advocate for children and young people, especially those growing up in the most challenging circumstances. Most recently, we were honored to have her on the side of the Fostering Youth Success Alliance, standing up for youth in and aging out of foster care who could benefit dramatically with greater access to college. Her leadership will be greatly missed.”
