The OHIO YAB and ACTION Ohio continue to work to organize and promote resources, with a specific focus on current and former foster youth, including adoptees, and those who have been entrusted to kinship care and congregate care facilities. Here is a link to a general Resource Hub that might be helpful as well.
One new resource to be aware of is the Fostering Futures Culinary Program. Here’s a direct link to the application. Employment opportunities are often available through Hey, I’m Here Ohio and iFoster’s AmeriCorps program.
