KidSpeak is a signature event of the Voices for Michigan’s Children. It brought area youth and decision makers together to build better policies and practices for young people in the foster care system and those moving out of the system.
The event was sponsored by the Mitsi and Albert Scaglione of Park West Foundation, Voices for Michigan’s Children, Foster Care Alumni of America-Michigan Chapter, Michigan Youth Opportunity Initiative, and the Oakland County Board of Commissioners.
