Thank you to all who joined us on June 26th, 2019 to connect, learn & have fun at Southern Maine Community College in South Portland, Maine!

Thank you so much for joining us at this year’s teen conference Waves of Change, Oceans of Opportunity!! You all helped make it a truly amazing day!!  We did a great job celebrating the amazing accomplishments of youth and adults that create an amazing community for Maine’s youth in care. Our staff has heard more than a few times that this may have been the conference with the most energy, and best keynote…you all rock! Everything from the energetic planning team who met all year to plan the event, to the awards, and of course our amazing Keynote Amnoni Meyers.  

 

We had a great turn out!! We had 146 participants for the day!!

 

The energy and commitment to hope and healing created a truly inspiring experience. This energy was felt by all, you could see it, hear it and appreciate it in every conference participant. It was an inspiring day filled with love, fun, and hugs!!!
