GRiD MKE Launch Party
February 2, 2017 @ 10:00 am - 12:00 pm
When youth age out of foster care, it’s far too easy for them to fall off the grid and not have access to services to help them successfully enter into adulthood. But now, there’s an app for that.
We’re pleased to announce GRiD MKE, a phone app made possible by the Tellier Foundation and our community partners. Please join us for the official unveiling and meet the partners dedicated to GRiD MKE’s success.
