It's My Life Conference
10/12/2004

The purpose of the conference is to improve services for youth transitioning from foster or other substitute care. The focus of the conference this year is Youth Economic Success and the importance of Alumni/Youth Partnership, with special emphasis given to the importance of quality employment, post-secondary educational and housing opportunities as the means to improve the lives of young people leaving care. This is not a youth conference or a professional conference; it is a conference where youth, alumni, professionals, caregivers and others learn together and from each other. It has been planned and designed by and with youth and alumni of care. Keynote speakers are alumni of care; the majority of our workshops will include youth and alumni. The conference includes: >> Pre-conference training and events, >> 42 -90 minute sessions that include panels and best practices from across the country >> Book signings with the authors of Somebodys Someone and On Their Own, >> Informal diners with selected speakers and dignitaries, >> A Living Room area for youth and families, and >> The Sacramento premiere of the documentary Aging Out The conference is co-hosted by Casey Family Programs, Casey Family Services, Annie E. Casey Foundation, and Jim Casey Youth Opportunities Initiative in partnership with the California Youth Connection, and California Child Welfare, Employment, Education and Housing agencies and organizations. For registration and complete details, including scholarships, information on accommodations and more, go to www.casey.org , or email tina@tinajanek.com or phone 512-327-9507.
