Honorary Board of Directors

Just in Time for Foster Youth has designated longtime supporter Tony Hsu as the very first Honorary Board member, a title bestowed upon a select few individuals whose legacy of contribution has been essential to JIT’s success.

Founding Board member and Treasurer for four years, Tony was instrumental in obtaining the 501-c-3 non-profit designation for Just in Time and has been tireless in his efforts to make the community aware of the plight of transitioning foster youth. He created an inspirational financial fitness presentation, including his famous $5 Challenge, and has personally mentored many youth. His area of expertise was finances, and he showed youth how to live within a budget, pay off credit cards, and build savings. But on the weekends he would often be seen carrying furniture into a youth's first apartment and providing emergency assistance that can be the turning point in the life of a young adult.

Tony continues to be a valued advisor and a champion for foster youth and Just in Time. He lives in San Diego with his wife and three children.
