Bio: Carl Boyd is the former Community Liaison for the Camden City Partnership and currently serves as a Family Engagement Coordinator and Hybrid Framing Fatherhood Facilitator at Center for Family Services. He would describe his role as a connector- connecting people to resources that create a positive benefit in their lives and connecting with Head Start families and fathers in the community. He is a former National Consumer Scholar, the current Vice Chair of the Camden Coalition’s Community Advisory Committee, as well as a board member and Community Ambassador. On November 2, 2022, he shared his testimony about his battle with Covid Pneumonia and Long Covid during a public hearing with the NJ Department of Health’s Covid-19 Pandemic Task Force on Racial and Health Disparities at Rutgers University in Camden NJ. This started his journey down the road of patient advocacy. His personal philosophy is every person has something to bring to the table in the way of helping people and their community. His vision is that we as individuals and the community realize what those talents are so we’re better able to serve each other and create value in our community.
