The GARYSE Chafee Program is hosting a series of virtual events for older youth in care ages 18+. The upcoming events for the month of May will support our young adults who identify as LGBTQ or Transgender; download the flyer for registration information.

This event will be facilitated by a transgender foster care alum – Elliott Hinkle. Elliott Orrin Hinkle (they/them) is an alumnus of the Wyoming Foster Care System. They are an advocate for child welfare, mental health, and the LGBTQ population. Nationally they work as a consultant to the National Capacity Building Center for States at ICF International and at JBS International working on NYTD. Since 2014 they have been a trainer of Youth Thrive and recently were certified to train on Youth Thrive for Youth. They have served as Commissioner and Vice Chair to the Oregon Governor’s Child Foster Care Advisory Commission.

This event is for youth who identify as LGBTQ2IA+. We ask that you consider that when sharing this opportunity, and do your best to protect the identity and safety of participants. 

Thank you.
