Garfield County has been selected to participate in the Shared Youth Vision project. This federal project is new to Garfield County and is designed to streamline community resources and improve the education and employability of young people who are considered at-risk. The federal project targets groups such as:
· Youth transitioning out of foster care
· Children of incarcerated parents
· Court involved youth
· Youth at risk of court involvement
· Migrant youth
· Youth with disabilities
· Native American youth
· Homeless and runaway youth
· Out of school youth
· High school dropouts.
The focus of the current pilot project in Oklahoma is youth transitioning out of foster care. In Garfield County this effort will be combined with the current Community Team meeting supporting our Systems of Care staff. Anyone interested in supporting at-risk youth or that currently provides services to transition age individuals is invited to attend the 1st Shared Youth Vision meeting on November 18th at 10 a.m. at the YWCA, 525 S Quincy St, Enid.
