On Monday, came to the Well Rooted office for their Professional Development Day!
Our Co-Founder, Katie Casey, shared the story of Well Rooted, why we started, and more about who we serve. Two of our young adults aging out of foster care were also gracious enough to share their personal experiences and the challenges they’ve faced. Their stories gave the DC team a deeper understanding of the realities of foster care and how they can better support and serve their students.
This was particularly special to us because both Well Rooted co-founders are DC graduates! It was so meaningful to welcome the school that played a part in our own journeys into the space we’ve created to support others.
After visiting our office, they went back to the school to make individual meals for our Young Adults. These will be dispersed at our next Young Adults Monthly Dinner.
Is your school or business interested in learning more, getting involved, or participating in a Professional Development Day with Well Rooted? We’d love to connect!
