Youth Summit

Hi everyone,
Given the number of questions we've been getting here, I wanted to provide you with more information on the June 13 Youth Summit. We are hoping to have 200 youth attend the event and, if social workers need to provide transportation, we are able to accommodate some of them as well. Youth are to be between the ages of 16-20 and in out of home care. The day's agenda is as follows:

9:30-10:30- Registration and continental breakfast
10:30-11:30- Panel
11:30- 12:00- Presenter
12:00-1:00- Lunch
1:00-2:00- Session 1
2:00-3:00- Session 2
3:00-3:15- Break
3:15-4:15- Session 3
4:15-5:15- Closing and raffle

The sessions will include: Alternatives to Higher Education, How to Buy a Car, Personal Care and Sex Education, Relaxation, Expressing Yourself through Dance, Jewelry Making. Also during the day, there will be a table to discuss leadership opportunities within the Department for youth. There will be areas where youth can have dog tags and airbrush hats made.
