The Transition Age Youth Conference is a one-day event that will be held on February 26, 2019 that will bring together transition age youth and professionals from across the state for collaboration. According to the National Youth in Transition Database (NYTD) first cohort data brief, which measures Independent Living Program(ILP) delivered services and outcomes of transition age youth, remaining challenges for this population include financial self-sufficiency, educational attainment, adult connections, homelessness, and high risk outcomes. The basis of these challenges, provides a variety of stakeholders, including social workers, educators, youth, and other professionals the opportunity to build community partnerships, while sharing ideas and information about best practices to improve foster youth outcomes.
The workshops will be specific by track, which will focus on youth and agency & community partner audiences. We are seeking presenters representing diverse backgrounds, roles, and responsibilities in serving the transition age youth population.
