Portage County involvement in the OHIO YAB

 On Monday, Feb. 5, 2024, an initial phone call was held to discuss future Portage County involvement in the OHIO YAB.  

Their adult supporter mentioned that Portage County youth had recently taken the Casey Life Skills Assessment, and overwhelmingly scored low in civic engagement and understanding of the child welfare system. The OHIO YAB is a great way to build this type of skills and knowledge. 

Portage County foster youth are welcome to participate in:

• the NW Youth Leadership Retreat
• the June Leadership and Life Skills Summit
• OHIO YAB statewide quarterly meetings
