Successful
Life Transitions for Aging-Out Orphans
Date: Tuesday, June 25, 2013 Time:
1:00 PM Central Time
As older orphans age
out of care, international trends are heartbreaking: homelessness, substance
abuse, prostitution, crime and incarceration await many who lack adequate
support networks. The Church is called to step into this gap, aiding orphans
into adulthood through holistic life transition support.
This Webinar will
examine information and models useful to Christian leaders, churches and
para-church organizations as they work to create healthy life transition for
aging-out orphans. W. Scott Brown,
Coordinator of the new CAFO “Aging Out Initiative,” will highlight case studies
from the new site www.cafo.org/aging-out, discuss trends and best practices, and share how this
new initiative can help you both access and share learning on Aging Out
programs.
In addition to
spotlighting key information and models, this webinar is also intended to seek
your input and ideas as we built a clearinghouse of best practices for
aging-out orphans in these five areas: Life Skills Training, Spiritual Care and
Mentoring, Transitional Housing, Vocational Training/Entrepreneurship/Job
Placement and Church and Community Support Networks.
W. Scott Brown is the coordinator of
the Aging-Out Initiative for Christian
Alliance for Orphans. He is vice president of communications and
lifelong learning for Christian Leadership Alliance. Scott also leads the Orphan
Care Ministry for Cherrydale Baptist Church in Arlington, Va.
Each 60-minute webinar in this series will
give local advocates access to the knowledge and experience of top Alliance
member churches and organizations nationwide, covering key topics on adoption,
foster care and/or global orphan care.
