OHIO YAB Training for Bridges Liaisons

 

On Friday, August 30, OHIO YAB Ambassadors facilitated a GAP training for Bridges Liaisons. 

The title of the training was Strengthening the Bridge to Our Future, and it included this video.

The training was created with insights from:

• Erik Ezekiel 
• Mattie Harrod
• Miatta Joe
• Raven Grice
• Dinastea Pierre
• Kayla Daniels

And was presented by Raven Grice, Dinastea Pierre, Miatta Joe and Kayla Daniel. 

One participant, Jill Jones, wrote in the chat:  

• "I'm a Bridges Supervisor and have been involved with the program since it started. Our agency has been working with young adults who have aged out of care for many years. Everyone deserves support and a safety net. So many young adults just need support, encouragement and guidance to stay on track and achieve their goals. Thank you to the young adults on today's training. We appreciate your input and your honesty. Thank you to Miss Lisa for being an incredible advocate for those who have aged out of care."

Two other participants shared that their personal experience in foster care inspired them to become involved in the Bridges program.
