🌿 ABOUT ME
Janae Adams is the Founder of Positive Figures of America, a community-based organization dedicated to supporting youth and strengthening the systems that serve them.
Originally from New York City, Janae brings over a decade of experience in human services, behavioral health, foster care, and youth development. Her work in New York provided her with the opportunity to support youth and families in high-demand, fast-paced environments, working with diverse populations facing complex behavioral, emotional, and environmental challenges.
Janae holds a Bachelor of Arts degree with a focus in Education and a degree in Human Services from the Metropolitan College of New York. Her educational background, combined with her hands-on experience, has equipped her with a strong foundation in youth development, behavioral support, and program implementation.
Throughout her career, Janae has served in a variety of roles including direct care, case coordination, behavioral support, and program development. This well-rounded experience allows her to understand both the day-to-day realities youth face and the systemic gaps that often impact their growth and stability.
Since relocating to Arizona, Janae has continued her work by collaborating with schools, behavioral health providers, residential programs, and community organizations to support youth in building emotional regulation, life skills, and positive decision-making. She also works closely with staff and teams, helping strengthen their ability to engage youth, manage challenging behaviors, and create supportive, structured environments.
Janae founded Positive Figures of America with a clear vision: to provide practical, relationship-driven support that meets youth where they are and helps them succeed both in and beyond the systems they are part of. Her approach focuses on real-life application—equipping youth with tools they can use in everyday situations, while also supporting the professionals and organizations who serve them.
Through POA, Janae provides a range of services including youth support, skill-building, and interactive workshops and training for organizations. Her work is rooted in consistency, connection, and a deep commitment to helping youth thrive while strengthening the communities around them
