You Are Invited!

 

The Teen Forum is about preparing youth for independent living. It will provide youth with the opportunity to participate in interactive workshops that focus on transitional housing, education and employment opportunities available prior to and upon emancipation.

 

Youth also network with other young people going through the same transition process. Back by popular demand this year are the FosterClub's All Stars, who travel across America sharing their personal foster care experiences in an effort to improve life for young people in foster care. Also returning as our emcee is George Duvall.

 

This year's forum will include logo and essay writing contests, and fun, educational, team building activities.

Foster youth between the ages of 16 and 18 with a qualified adult sponsor who is a county ILP coordinator, social worker, or care provider/volunteer approved by their county.
