Brooklyn Family Court hosts annual Teen Day events
The Kings County Family Court held its annual Teen Day event on Thursday where Brooklyn kids from the foster care system are brought into the court so that they have a platform where they can network and get exposed to social programs designed for them.
The event is meant to provide teens, particularly those transitioning into adulthood, with information ranging from how to get health insurance to scheduling doctor’s appointment and teaching them how to build a resume to preparing them for job interviews, among others.
Judges, lawyers, court employees, social workers and foster care kids all packed the 10th floor of the Kings County Family Court on Thursday afternoon to hear inspiring stories and to also show support to kids transitioning from the foster care system into a life of their own.
