We’re thrilled to announce the return of our in-person  Central New York support groups for adoptive, foster, and kinship caregivers and youth, facilitated by CNY AGAPE and Kinship (KCSP) staff. Each facilitator brings their own lens of lived experience (foster parent, adoptive parent, adult adoptee). 

Join the AGAPE and Kinship (KCSP) teams for a fun filled morning of connection created specifically for youth ages 5 -8 who:

are adopted
have been in foster care
are in kinship care,
are in custody with anyone other than a biological parent
are in a guardianship arrangement

The in-person YOUNGER youth groups are a fantastic and fun opportunity for connection, dialogue, and support around the issues and concerns that matter the most to youths.

Each month will be centered around a particular topic or theme that will oftentimes bridge ideas also explored in the parent/caregiver support group. Ideas such as identity formation, social media’s influence,  the importance of positive mental health support and strategies for coping with negative emotions during stressful times. No matter the topic, our facilitators will encourage the teens to ultimately have a voice in how the group time is spent and how they’d like to shape each  hangout interaction. Each meeting will be facilitated by our youth programming coordinator and another adoption foster kinship guardianship competent adult.

The youth group and the parent group both are held at the same time and place, so parents and kids can both get the connection they need! We can’t wait to see you!
