Voices for Children (CA), invites you to join their September Real Word Speakers Panel, Tuesday, September 13 6:00 pm – 7:30 pm PT. The panel is comprised of young adults who currently live or have lived in foster care after experiencing abuse, abandonment or neglect by their parents or caregivers. In this “back to school” edition, the panel will focus on the topic of educational advocacy and the challenges youth in foster care experience in academic settings. Discussion topics will include: • What it’s like to change schools frequently and how this affects youth • How CASA/GAL volunteers can help youth succeed in the classroom • Why participating in sports and extracurricular activities can be challenging for youth in foster care The panel will be moderated by CASA volunteer Greg P. who will be joined by our panelists along with Voices for Children’s Senior Advocacy Supervisor Diana Woldt-Gorsich. During these presentations, Real Word panelists are open and forthright about their experiences in foster care, such as what it’s like to move from home to home, how it feels to be separated from siblings, and how they coped in the face of adversity with the support of their CASA/GAL volunteers. This event is free and open to the public, though not appropriate for children under 18. Follow on social media! Facebook + Instagram

Clay Open Studio is available monthly: 1st and 3rd Fridays from 4pm – 7pm Clay Open Studio is an opportunity for students to practice the clay skills they have already learned in our clay classes. Students have the chance to work in our studio using either hand building techniques or working on a pottery wheel. This is not an instructional class. There will be no instructor. By signing up for Clay Open Studio, you will receive 1/2 a bag of clay, 1 bisque fire, 1 glaze fire, and use of our glazes. We work with midfire clay. No outside clay is allowed (because disastrous things can happen, and we like our kilns!) Since there is no instruction in Open Studio, some clay experience is necessary. You must have taken one of our clay courses to participate, or have clay experience from elsewhere. Follow on social media! Facebook + Instagram
