This is a recording of the March 29th, 2023 Session 3 in the series, "Aging Out or Growing Together? Flipping the Youth Services Paradigm to Better Support Young Adulthood".

This third session, “Elevating Culturally Affirming and Sustaining Services and Practices in Youth Service Agencies” featured special guests Dana Lucio, Dr. Patrick Camangian, and Ricardo Garcia-Acosta. Our Region 9 Training Specialist Oriana Ides facilitated a discussion to address how organizational values, program design, implementation strategies, and long-term visions for young adults can expand to support their evolving needs.

This session and those that follow are designed for agencies and individuals that serve transition-aged youth and young adults and explore themes specific to the needs of this age group.
