On March 17, Region 3 hosted their
More Than Luck: Building Brighter Outcomes Together Summit.
This summit brought together County Children and Youth Agencies’ and School Districts’ Points of Contact (POC).

This event was the direct result of our December virtual sessions with Christina Endres, where we focused on understanding the unique perspectives of our partners.

By moving from the screen to the room, we were able to further strengthen the collaborations that support students placed in foster care.

A huge thank you to everyone across Region 3 who attended—your energy made it a truly productive and fun-filled day.

Special thanks to Milton Hershey for sponsoring this event

We look forward to continuing to build on these partnerships to lift up our students placed in foster care.
