The Targeted Recruitment Specialists have had a busy summer attending in-person recruitment events across the state. Throughout our recruitment efforts, we continue to focus our efforts on high removal zip codes, targeted populations and doing our part to grow awareness and resources. Additionally, the Targeted Recruitment Specialists have been working hard to build connections with important stakeholders, community groups, and partners to understand the needs of the diverse communities across the regions.
Some of the exciting things the Targeted Recruitment Specialist have been doing:
- In-person back to school drives, block parties, and community events
- In-person tabling events collaborating with non-profits
- Visiting local businesses
- Virtual foster parent recruitment events and networking
- Attended cultural events
