Family Services of Metro Orlando has been selected by the Atlanta-based Dwight D. Howard Foundation as its local partner for a multi-day event to mark its expansion into the central Florida area.
The event, Spirit Week, will be open to participation by foster youth and former foster youth (reunified, adopted, aged out) and will involve four days of fun afterschool life skills learning opportunities focusing on:
· Dealing with negative pressure

· Goal setting

· Social etiquette

· "Work to earn"

· Proper money management

Youth may but do not need to participate on all four days.

The Dwight D. Howard Foundation and Family Services of Metro Orlando are supporting the cost of youth attendance over the four day period.

On the fifth day (October 30, 2009), the Dwight D. Howard Foundation will host a Family Fun Day free for all families to be held at:
Faith World Church 7601 Forest City Rd. Orlando, FL 32810

A limited number of slots are available for youth to participate in the afterschool life skills learning activities.
