A panel of experts will facilitate an interactive presentation for older teens that will emphasize practical, hands-on skills and information to promote safety and independence.

For ages 16 and older, parents welcome to view as well. Teen attendees will earn Community Service credit. Please register by May 22 to receive the Zoom link for this presentation.
