Cave is 19 years old and graduated from Next STEP in 2025. He is currently enrolled in the General Studies program at CMCC, with plans to transfer and pursue a career in radiology.

Cave was a participant of Skate To Relate his junior and senior year of high school which helped him build confidence and see himself beyond the labels he grew up with in foster care. Through skating, he found a sense of normalcy, belonging, and the motivation to believe in a bigger future for himself; the skateboard truly became the wings that led him there.

This experience inspired him to become involved in advocacy through the Youth Leadership Advisory Team (YLAT). As a YLAT ambassador, he used his voice to help train new caseworkers and CASA volunteers while also teaching other in foster care skills like strategic sharing.

Cave is now on the Skate to Relate team as a youth advocate and his leadership skills continue to help lift youth voices and support positive changes across the community. Cave loves skateboarding and learning new skills because they have empowered him to push through tough moments. His biggest motivation comes from the people he meets on his journey and the chance to make them feel supported, welcomed, and heard.
