The VISTA vol's all made the road trip to New Martinsville yesterday

All three VISTA workers attended the Regional Summit with me yesterday in New Martinsville, and then we toured the Tuel Center (independent living group home) of Youth Services System, Inc. before returning to Parkersburg. It was "full circle" for Patty, who when she started her VISTA project last year attending the summit as one of her first activities. Kindra is finishing up her year, and Missy is getting around to some of the key stakeholder meetings for her project year. The Tuel Center presents a good model/ example of an agency trying to respond to the needs of these older youth aging out of the foster care system.
