CAFO “Small Matters” (Orphans & Foster Care) – both Virtual & In-Person

David Imboden

With the fresh uptick in COVID, large gatherings may not be possible in September. So CAFO is seizing the opportunity to go small. On September 10 & 11, CAFO2020 will take new shape! Rather than traveling to Dallas, you’ll have the chance to join with others in your region — either virtually or in-person — with local events across the country and global network events in countries worldwide.

Thursday, September 10 will include focused interactive intensives for parents, organization leaders, advocates and more — all virtual.

Friday, September 11 will include small groups gathering by region (both virtually and in-person) for the live CAFO-wide SMALL MATTERS event followed by afternoon deep-dive tracks.

The Refresh Conference (Foster Parenting) – Redmond, WA

David Imboden

We understand what it’s like to raise kids who come from traumatic pasts. We know firsthand what it’s like to make the sacrifices. To be weighed down with shame and sheer exhaustion. We know. We are right there with you. That’s why we started Refresh back in 2011.

Some people say Refresh shouldn’t be called a conference because it really is more of an experience. And you know what? They might be right. So, call it whatever you want, but just come and check it out.
