IFYA Annual Conference

Join us for a guided session based on The Moth: Storytelling workshop. Participants will reflect on their lived experiences that have shaped and inspired who they are. While in an environment that offers a safe space to speak, listen and connect over real moments.  No preparation needed, just bring your voice and your story.

Are you interested in exploring different career pathways that fit your interests and skills? Join us for an interactive career assessment and exploration activity with a scavenger hunt. By the end of this session, participants will:

• Be able to identify their workforce skills,
• Have 2 careers they are interested in and well suited for

In this interactive session, participants will transform their thoughts and experiences into meaningful artwork. Through guided conversations centered on foster care, attendees will explore their personal stories and express them creatively. This engaging activity highlights the power of individual voices, showing how sharing and reflecting on these experiences can inspire connection, healing, and a stronger path forward.

This breakout session explores the interconnected challenges and opportunities young people face while parenting and trying to pursue personal goals. Through shared experiences and supportive dialogue, the session aims to equip young people with tools and confidence to balance responsibilities, achieve their goals, and create positive outcomes for themselves and their families.
