Part of the experience for Oak Grove Students and Residential Youth is the opportunity to access amazing speakers. During Spring Break, Youth enjoyed two exciting speakers meant to educate and inspire.
Chef Rosie O'Connor (pictured with Tammy) spoke to a group about moving forward after mistakes and being confident in who you are and what you do.
Dorm B was also honored with a workshop from Keisha with Abundantly Authentic (bottom photo). Youth worked on Vision Boards and talked about being and building good friendships.
