"Most of [those exiting foster care] have been nourished but they haven't been nurtured. There's a difference--they've been fed but they haven't been taught how to grow." – Beverly Johnson

Program Update: Due to changes in our speaker's availability, the City Club will be rescheduling Adrian M. McLemore for a later date. We look forward to continuing this important conversation on aging out of foster care with a panel of local leadership and voices in the field.

----

Every year, roughly a thousand young people in the foster-care system in Ohio “age out” and are thrust into a reality where they are more likely to face homelessness, unemployment, and food scarcity. Child welfare agencies are working to fill the gaps, but opportunities remain.

Join the City Club as we hear from local leadership on how we can all strategically partner with agencies and institutions to improve outcomes for youth and families.

----

Tickets may be still purchased after Wednesday, October 2nd at noon by calling Stacy Holmes at (216) 621-0082.

The livestream will be available beginning at 12:00pm. Have questions? Send a text to 330.541.5794.

Production and distribution of City Club forums in partnership with Ideastream Public Media is generously provided by PNC and the United Black Fund.
