Registration is now OPEN for the Lift Off: Journey Towards Possibilities Youth Conference!
A free, half-day conference for youth and young adults to explore post-secondary education opportunities, learn about financial aid options, and prepare for college.
This conference is targeted to youth and young adults who are in foster care and who are either currently in high school, pursuing their GED, or have recently graduated but have not yet enrolled in college.
Youth and young adults will learn about multiple post-secondary opportunities that are available to them, including:
- Financial Aid
- Getting into College
- Preparing for College
- Community College / Trade School options
A few things to note:
Do I need to attend both dates?
No! There are two dates for the same conference: February 7th at ASU – Tempe and March 7th at Glendale Community College. The two dates are provided to ensure that as many youth as possible can attend the conference that is closest to them. Please make sure that you and/or your youth sign up only for the date you plan to attend.
Who is this conference for?
This conference is designed for youth and young adults who are in high school, pursuing their GED, or who have recently graduated. It aims to provide information about various post-secondary options.
I am a supportive adult; can I attend with my youth?
Yes! You are encouraged to attend with your youth or with multiple youth from your caseload. This information is beneficial for everyone! If you are from a group home and are bringing multiple youth, please ensure that a staff member accompanies them.
What can be expected during the conference?
Learning, connecting, and planning for the future. There will be workshops from different colleges and universities as well as workshops on financial and preparing for college. There will also be resource tables from different agencies to support students in college. Food will be provided.
