Two Big Table Events in One Day

On Wednesday, September 25, 2024:

• OHIO YAB Youth Ambassador Alivia participated in a Big Table event hosted by the Mirth Foundation. Link to more photos.
• OHIO YAB Youth Ambassadors Aaron, Miatta, and Haley participated in a Big Table event hosted by the Junior League of Columbus. Link to more photos. 

Both Big Table events were focused on improving outcomes for young people in and from foster care. Here is a link to a document that illustrates how statistics are influenced by systemic factors. 

The Big Table is a community-wide day of conversation hosted by The Columbus Foundation that aims to inspire civic engagement and authentic human connection. The goal is to build momentum for a just and kind future for all. Volunteer hosts are equipped with a guidebook and materials to help facilitate discussions, in order to create open and natural conversations where all voices are heard.
