With the support, guidance, and planning of the Advisory Council on April 26, 2023, the Fostering Mentorship Connections: A solutions-focused summit was held at the Japanese American National Museum. In attendance were 165 participants composed of representatives and leaders from the philanthropy sector, non-governmental organizations, county departments (i.e., DCFS, Probation, Department of Youth Development, Department of Economic Opportunity) and best of all current/former foster youth. 

This amazing day full of interactive panels and group discussions yielded some great outcomes including the desire to create a coordinated mentorship focused network for systems impacted in LA County through public/private partnerships.
