✨ At our annual Forget-Me-Not event on April 29, join us for a powerful panel discussion: “Building Communities of Belonging and Access Where Youth Thrive.” ✨
Young people are experiencing unprecedented levels of adversity - from housing instability, uncertainty around immigration status and economic security to struggling with identity, isolation, and the lasting impacts of unresolved trauma. Despite these realities, we continue to see how resilience can be cultivated when youth are surrounded by compassion, opportunity, and trust.
🌟 Panelist Spotlight: Dr. Candice Arora
Co-founder of The Arora Collective and educator, Dr. Arora brings over 20 years of experience supporting youth and families navigating adversity and change. Candice partners with nonprofits, schools, and community organizations to build values-driven leadership, turn community voices into action, and create systems that foster belonging and access. She’s passionate about the power of positive adult relationships and creating spaces where youth and those who support them can show up authentically. Her voice is grounded in both deep expertise and lived experience, and her insights are not to be missed!
