Regional Capacity Building Event Series
Too often, young people impacted by homelessness slip through gaps in support when systems are not designed to meet their unique needs. Thanks to support from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), TNOYS is hosting events in Dallas-Fort Worth, San Antonio, and Tyler to learn about needs on the ground and build capacity for stronger, more coordinated systems of care for young people experiencing or vulnerable to homelessness.
Dallas-Fort Worth Event: Tuesday, August 19, and Wednesday, August 20. View the agenda here.
San Antonio – Monday, September 15 and Tuesday, September 16. Stay tuned – the event agenda will be released soon!
Who Should Join?
We welcome professionals and youth and young adults (YYA) with lived and/or professional experience in areas such as child welfare, health and behavioral health, justice, housing and homelessness services, survivor services (including preventing/ addressing Commercial Sexual Exploitation of Youth), education, and higher education/workforce.
Programming:
Registration is free, with lunch provided. Attendees can use the registration form to sign up for one or both days. On day one, young people and professionals will attend separate listening and learning sessions. Day two will feature programming for professionals only, including a training from TNOYS Blueprint for Youth Engagement (BYEn) training on effective youth-adult partnership (2.5 CEUs will be available). Next, TNOYS will facilitate conversations on strategies and resources to improve collaboration across systems that serve young people.
