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

BFree presents Time for Women Artists (TWA)’s newest group show, “Turning Tides” this summer. The group will showcase their individual visions of what the theme means to them: ebb and flow, change, transition, the sea—and more. The works are in a range of sizes and media. The exhibition will present works by all 12 TWA group members, showcasing their individual visions of what “Turning Tides” means to them. As we head into a changed world, post-pandemic and with social and political shifts, these are expressions of hope during transition, of ways to move forward, of the force of the spirit and the resilience of nature. The works are in a range of media: from textiles to painting, ceramic and bronze sculpture to mixed media, and in many styles, from abstract to whimsical to realism. The group has been working and showing together for 6 years, and were recently featured at the Oceanside Museum of Art in an exhibition titled “Now.” Member artists also show individually, in galleries and museums on both coasts, and their work is held in corporate and private collections worldwide. WHEN | This exhibition is ongoing from August 19 to September 3, 2022. • Open Tuesday through Sunday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. LOCATION | BFree Studios • 7857 Girard Ave, La Jolla, CA 92037 SOCIALS | Follow BFree Studios on Facebook | Instagram
