Brooklyn Family Court holds annual teen day
The Kings County Family Court hosted its annual Teen Day event on Thursday for Brooklyn kids in the foster care system to network and interact with various agencies to prepare for their future.
Tables set up from some 30 agencies allowed kids heading into adulthood to learn about college prospects, health insurance, preparing for job interviews and other information. With youth movements currently taking the country by storm, this year’s theme was “Using Your Voice as a Bridge to Your Future.”
“Our hope was that by picking this theme today … we would help the teens catch even a glimpse of trying to see what it means to use your voice to really build your own future,” said Judge Dean Kusakabe, co-chairman for the Teen Day Committee.
