FEATURING FOSTER YOUTH EXPERIENCES

In collaboration with the California Youth Connection, we will host the Museum of Lost Childhoods exhibit from the Foster Youth Museum. The items in the exhibit were chosen or informed by youth in and from the foster care system. Organized in dramatic contiguous displays, the museum guides viewers on a journey from "Lost Childhoods" to "Foster Youth Empowerment." The exhibit gives a voice to these brilliant young people and their stories of hope through art, photography, and digital media.  This art experience will be accompanied by an exclusive Pivotal exhibit showcasing the impact of Pivotal’s work on foster youth in our community.
