During this engaging panel, the Emerging Leaders will share insight into their personal journeys as adoptees, discuss the importance of telling their stories, and reflect on how their lived experiences inform their advocacy and leadership. They will also participate in an open Q&A session, offering attendees a chance to engage directly and gain deeper understanding into the needs and strengths of adopted and fostered youth.
This is a unique opportunity to hear directly from young adults who are not only using their voices to elevate others, but also helping to guide C.A.S.E.’s mission at the local and national level.
This is a free event, and lunch will be provided for all attendees.
Additionally, participants will be eligible to receive free Continuing Education (CE) credits approved by the Maryland Board of Social Work Examiners or a Certificate of Completion.
