The St. Vincent Home for Children board of trustees announced Latosha Fowlkes as the organization’s new executive director, replacing Dr. Carla-Monroe Posey, who retired in April.
A licensed clinical social worker and native of the St. Louis region, Fowlkes brings with her more than 15 years of experience, previously serving as vice president of older youth and supportive services at Epworth Children and Family Services.
“We are thrilled to welcome Latosha to our team,” said Tiffany Charles, St. Vincent Home for Children board of trustees chair. “Her years of experience, proven leadership, clinical expertise, and understanding of the needs of our clients are qualities we value as we grow the scope and impact of our mission. We know she will lead St. Vincent with passion and dedication.”
Fowlkes also served as executive director at Good Samaritan House of Granite City, and director of social services at Guardian Angel Settlement Association. She received a Master of Social Work from Illinois State University, is a certified HUD housing compliance manager, and previously served as co-chair of both the Madison County Continuum of Care for the Homeless and the Madison County St. Louis Area Regional Commission on Homelessness Program.
“I am honored to join the dedicated staff, supporters, and volunteers at St. Vincent,” Fowlkes said. “There is a deep, rich history, and unwavering dedication to helping youth in need that goes back 170 years. I am excited to become part of that tradition and continue this critical mission.”
St. Vincent helps youth facing significant life challenges through therapeutic support that enables them to improve their lives, their families and the community. The agency offers individual and group therapy, including one-on-one and family counseling, temporary shelter and transitional living, early outreach and intervention programs, and substance use education.
