Farid Rasuli

Farid’s daily and long life career goal’s motivation and aspirations are rooted in his upbringing and lived experience in his journey from a rural village of mountainous Afghanistan to foster care in the U.S. His advocacy for well-being and successful transitions of young people to adulthood began in refugee camps of Indonesia, where he and his friends undertook a variety of initiatives - mainly a social media network, which grew to reach 20,000 members, to centralize information, news, and everything concerning refugees in Indonesia. After resettlement to the U.S. as an Unaccompanied Refugee Minor (URM), he joined the Mockingbird Society and partnered with various stakeholders to transform foster care and end youth homelessness across Washington State through policy reform, community engagement, and youth leadership development. Currently, Farid works at Inatai Foundation as an Investment Operations Analyst, a Seattle, WA based organization working to transform the balance of power to ensure equity and racial justice. In this role, he advances the foundation’s mission by leveraging personal experience in day-to-day investment operations role. Farid is also a Fostering Scholar at Seattle University, where he is graduating in June of 2023 with a bachelor’s degree in Business Administration in Business Economics.
