There are 19 local programs across Oregon that recruit, train, supervise and support volunteers who serve as Court Appointed Special Advocates for foster children and youth. The programs operate independently with their own budgets and are funded through a mix of state dollars, private donations, philanthropic grants and community fundraising.  This fiscal year, they were also expecting to get a one-time allocation of $1.7 million from the federal government, which was earmarked for community project funding in Oregon. But last month, the Continuing Resolution that Congress passed stripped this funding, which would have been disbursed through the Oregon CASA Network to each of the local programs, based on the number of foster children and youth in the counties they serve.  Jennifer Mylenek, the executive director of CASA of Jackson and Josephine Counties, and Mary Collard, the executive director of CASA of Eastern Oregon, join us to talk about how they’re coping with the impact of the loss of these funds within their rural communities.

Over the next five and a half years, he moved in and out of 27 foster placements and was exposed to experiences he was too young to understand. Jacob had to grow up quickly, but with the help of a few insightful mentors and professionals, he grew up with resiliency and a strong sense of identity.   Today, Jacob is a certified trauma trainer and a youth advocate using his lived experience to inspire and educate others about the importance of trauma-informed practices, the complexities of the foster care system, and the resilience of those within it. In this episode, Jacob shares his professional journey and his faith journey. He also lets listeners in on some of the most beneficial words a helper can speak: How can I support you in following your dreams? Jacob's story is heartwarming and powerful - a great way to launch Weave & Cleave's 4th podcast season!Email: holleyjacob60@gmail.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jacob-holley-70774024a/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jacob.holley.9216

In her role, Kelly focuses on expanding peer support mental health programs and championing policies driven by lived experiences. In our conversation, Kelly sheds light on how peer support functions and emphasizes the critical need to break down barriers that limit access to mental health assistance. While acknowledging the challenges that remain in addressing youth mental health, we also highlight the range of treatment options available through schools and how they can serve as a foundation for progress. Our discussion takes a deep dive into the multifaceted nature of mental health. We explore generational stigmas, the influence of social media and online mental health spaces, and the persistent disparities in mental health support for men and women. Additionally, we examine the unique challenges faced by immigrants and first-generation children, offering insight into how cultural backgrounds shape their relationship with mental health. Kelly shares practical ways for youth to engage in mental health advocacy through local and national organizations, highlighting how passionate young people are driving much of today's progress. We close by reflecting on our hopes for the future: greater accessibility to support, more open conversations breaking mental health taboos, and leaders prioritizing this critical issue.

“I see my job as trying to soothe the trauma that teenagers don't know they have yet because everybody's so busy telling them that they don't.” - A.S. KingThe older we get, the more we understand that life is impossible to actually understand. Things are not often straightforward, and the more we do discover, the more we realize there is to discover. But when we read, we want to relate, to see the words on a page and have them reflect the world back at us in a way that makes it feel more digestible. A.S. (Amy Sarig) King has found that the only way to really do that is to make the mirror as absurd as the real thing. In today's American political realm, the word weird is taking on a new layer of meaning. But for Amy, weirdness has always been a lifeline. For her and her characters. She draws on weirdness and absurdity to tap deeper into the trauma her characters face. From anger to misplaced guilt, sadness to grief, and a general sense of overwhelming anxiety, teens have so much to process. And nothing peeves Amy like adults' dismissal of these experiences, of this trauma, for teens. She is passionate about challenging that norm, validating teens, and offering a surreal mirror to help them understand the world as it truly is: weird.A.S. King is a prolific, unique writer best known for "Dig," "Ask the Passengers," "Please Ignore Vera Dietz," and "The Collectors." She has received the Los Angeles Times Book Prize, the Edgar Award, and the Printz Honor—twice. Her work often combines surrealism with raw emotional depth, offering a fresh perspective on the human experience.In this episode, she critiques pointless teen shaming by adults, discusses why surrealism resonates with young readers, and shares her advocacy for LGBTQ+ youth through Gracie's House, a nonprofit named after her late daughter. She also reveals how her cheese tattoo led to an insight into humaneness.***Connect with Jordan and The Reading Culture @thereadingculturepod and subscribe to our newsletter at thereadingculturepod.com/newsletter. ***Keeping it on brand and consistent, Amy offers us a truly unique reading challenge with a bizarrely loveable title.

Summary Sarah Baharaki, a youth activist and advocate for education, shares her inspiring journey from Afghanistan to the UK and her commitment to making a difference in the world. She discusses the importance of education and its impact on personal growth and shaping the future. Sarah highlights the challenges she faced when joining a new school in a different country and the support she received from teachers and peers. She also talks about her experiences speaking at the United Nations and her involvement in various organizations focused on sustainable development and human rights. Sarah's passion and determination to create positive change are evident throughout the conversation. Takeaways Education is a powerful tool that shapes individuals and plays a crucial role in personal growth and development. Youth have a voice and the power to make a difference in the world, and it is important for them to be included in decision-making processes. The challenges faced by individuals from conflict-affected countries can drive them to work towards positive change and advocate for those who are marginalized. Different paths and approaches can contribute to creating a better world, and everyone's contribution is valuable. Privilege can be used for good, and individuals with privilege have the means to make a significant impact. It is essential to raise awareness about the issues faced by marginalized communities and work towards achieving sustainable development and equality for all. Sarah Baharaki LinkedInhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/sarah-baharaki-a79a852a5/Berkhamsted onlineWebsite: www.berkhamsted.comFacebook: BerkhamstedSchoolTwitter: @berkhamstedschInstagram: berkhamstedschools

Daniel Principe is a youth advocate and consent educator. Daniel has spoken to more than 55,000 students at more than 250 schools around Australia about creating spaces to champion boys into becoming good men. The saying “boys will be boys”, can be traced back to ancient Roman times. Essentially society has been saying some form of this for at least 2,500 years. This dated idiom is working against us.Yet, we still hear it. We hear it at the same time as we see the number of women being killed by a current or former intimate partner increase.So how do we stop the violence? For Daniel, the answer is simple. Start young…take our boys on journies of self-discovery and show them the benefits of being decent, safe, respectful, courageous, empathetic, kind - to think of other than self. Daniel's social cause is an end to the exploitation and abuse of children. He's also an ambassador for Consent can't wait. This conversation discusses domestic violence - if this triggers something for you or you need help please contact 1800 737 732 To find out more about the project and Savva - head to threefoodmemories.comInsta - @savvasavasEmail us at threefoodmemories@plated.com.au, we'd love to hear from you!

She originally moved to Albany Park to work as a theatre director with a youth theatre company 14 years ago and chose to stay and organize around housing, education, immigrant rights, and mental health. She is the chief sponsor for the Treatment Not Trauma legislation and continues to organize with grassroots organizations to transform Chicago.

One of these groups is Reality Check out of New York, who organizes this Mobilize Against Tobacco Lies (MATL) event each year. During this event last month, participating youth spoke out against tobacco industry targeting and made it known they will not stand for this through their advocacy efforts. You will hear more about this example of youth who are making a difference during this episode.

"In eight years' time, I'd like to see the video games industry being the greenest industry in the world and that the players that play games are coming to it, not just to escape, but to give back as well." The wider creative industries are increasingly looking to games for inspiration. After all, it's probably fair to say that gaming is now bigger than the Beatles – so why wouldn't the world of music and film be looking to video games for a steer on how to engage their audiences? In the first episode of the Playable Futures Podcast, games journalist Will Freeman – a regular GamesIndustry.biz contributor – speaks to the UN Environment's Chief of Education, Youth & Advocacy, Sam Barratt, about the United Nation's Playing for the Planet Alliance, and why the UN sees games as part of its mission's future.  In this wide-ranging chat, Sam reflects on how the gaming sector can use its influence to shift the world from where we are to where it needs to be. As a medium that inspires and engages like no other, he discusses how games could encourage audiences to act and make a real difference.  The Playable Futures Podcast accompanies Playable Futures, a collection of insights, interviews, and articles from global games leaders sharing their visions of where the industry and medium will go next. A series of ten articles so far have been published on GamesIndustry.biz, with more planned. Playable Futures is a collaborative project brought to you in partnership with GamesIndustry.biz, UKIE and Diva.

Drawing from her own personal experiences navigating the mental healthcare system, Kelly guides us through how to be an ally during a crisis, how we can maintain hope when there's so much chaos in the world, and how improving mental health outcomes isn't just about access to services or improving services, but it's also about “creating a world that doesn't harm people's mental health.” Our Guest Kelly Davis is the Associate Vice President of Peer and Youth Advocacy at Mental Health America (MHA) where she works to expand peer support and other programs, policies, and research around youth and young adults.

Belinda Ng, is a client, friend and inspiration to me. she shares her thoughts on employment at major corporations, and on food security in this episode. "The question that comes up for me is how much of this is really embedded within what they're doing? And it's true to their core purpose? Or is it really just, you know, controversial greenwashing. And that they're just kind of saying this, because it's kind of part of a cool, trendy thing that all companies are doing now. And they can have a lot of money to market themselves in this way. But I think actually, I'm more hopeful than I am cautious. There's the cautious element is more that it's making sure I still have that critical mindset that my education has really shaped me to have to not just take things at face value, but really try and explore deeper ask critical questions"

This week on Down the Rabbit Hole we are joined by one of our star young people, Santino Camacho, who has been engaged with TCFV on multiple levels, to talk about the important topic of youth advocacy and engagement. As adults, we often lose touch with how busy young people can be and the immense pressure they are under. Not only are they occupied with school work, socializing, and getting ready for college, but they're also figuring out what they'd like to do with their lives. In our conversation, we discuss why you should never pigeonhole yourself, no matter your age, and unpack some of the important benefits of becoming involved with advocacy. We explore the many ways that young people can get involved, like leadership and volunteering, and reflect on some of the challenges that can come with advocacy work. Santino also speaks to his experience as a young man who has never experienced domestic violence, how he came to be involved in advocacy, and ways to encourage young people to engage with movements that aren't directly related to their experiences. To learn more about youth advocacy, how to nurture engagement, and Santino's insights on collaboration and coaching, tune in today! Please note that this episode carries a trigger warning for dating and domestic violence.
