The PAL program wants to thank you for your continued support for our young adults. Each year nearly 200 youth age out of the foster care system in Region 6, which is why continued exposure to community partners is vitally important. We are asking for your support for an upcoming event. Region 6 PAL is hosting Against all odds: The Game of life with PAL. This event will be on August 5th, from 10am-2pm. The event will allow our young adults to navigate through a simulation of real-life scenarios our foster youth face while aging out of the care. The goal is for the youth to use their critical thinking skills to pick different resources to complete their simulation. We plan to have over 50 resources table present for the young adults to visit. We would love for each of our young adults to go home with a new board game. We are looking for donations of board games to start collecting for this event. My co-worker Brittany Danford had a great quote for this event "Life is like a board game, we can't undo a move but we can make the next move better". Thank you again for everything you do.
