136. A New Name, A New Vision: Hope Bridge's Youth Empowerment Program with Larkyn Forchoine

In this episode of Restoried, we introduce our newest team member, Larkyn Forchione, the new Youth Empowerment Coordinator. Larkyn shares her journey as a single foster and adoptive mom, how God led her to Hope Bridge, and her passion for serving young people impacted by foster care. We also announce the transition from our former "Aged Out Youth Program" to the newly named Youth Empowerment Program. This change reflects our commitment to supporting youth and young adults impacted by the foster care system through individualized support, life-skills development, mentorship, healthy community, and faith-based encouragement. Join us as we discuss the vision behind the program, the needs facing system-impacted young adults, and how Hope Bridge is working to empower the next generation, one relationship at a time.  Episode Highlights:  Meet Larkyn  Youth Empowerment Program  Mentorship  Foster Care Adoption   Find More on Hope Bridge: Youth Empowerment Program Flyer  Volunteer/Become a Mentor  Visit Our Website  Follow us on Instagram Follow us on Facebook  Learn more about Hope for the Journey TBRI TrainingLearn more about Building Trauma-Informed Spaces with Kim Botto
