AdoptMent Volunteers Needed
Adoption Resource Network at Hillside is looking for a few adults who
were adopted to volunteer for the AdoptMent program.
AdoptMent matches adult adoptees with teens who are somewhere in the
adoption process. AdoptMent youth and adults meet as a group and
individually for one hour a week from September until June. Training and
support are provided. If you might be interested, please call or email
Mike Finn at Adoption Resource Network, 585-350-2502,

Training Resources for Foster/Adoptive
Families - details
The Center for Development of Human Services
is pleased to announce exciting training opportunities for
foster/adoptive parents.
This fall we will continue to offer training using iLinc, a distance
learning program that uses the Internet to connect instructors and
learners. These workshop offerings will
be “synchronous,” meaning that the instructor and learners will all be
online at the same time.
