Presenter is Joshua Young, Director of Operations and a person with lived experience with Ohio Network for Innovation.

May 24 2023 6-7:30pm In our first presentation Teens and their supporters will learn about self-determination and why it’s important. Then, we’ll look at some ways to gain more self-determination in our lives.

May 31, 2023 6-7:30pm In our second presentation we will use the ideas we learned about and practice making decisions by using gamification (playing games to learn).
