“This workshop is ideal for parents and teens who are interested in the breadth of opportunities available after high school,” noted Deborah Berry-Toon, Executive Director of Project Self-Sufficiency. “Parents and young adults will learn how to access the information, resources and support needed to plan for a successful future at home, school and in the community.”
The workshop is presented by the Statewide Parent Advocacy Network, the leading parent advocacy agency whose mission is to empower families and to inform and involve professionals and other individuals in the healthy development and educational rights of children.
