On Friday, Oct. 27, Taylor will host the CARE Conference, a one-day event with speakers, workshops and organizational exhibits focused on vulnerable children and viable communities.
According to Graduate Assistant Paige McCourt, the conference will begin with keynote speaker Beth Guckenberger of Back2Back Ministries in that morning’s chapel. Three breakout sessions with a break for lunch will follow, covering topics including adoption, refugees and immigration, child tracking, trauma-informed care and youth development. The day will end with a closing keynote speaker at 3:30–4:45 p.m.
One goal of the conference is to expose students to people doing work with orphans and vulnerable children in the real world, according to McCourt. The variety of speakers and topics will promote a holistic approach to caring for “the other” and help students determine where their vocations would best fit into working with vulnerable children. McCourt also hopes the conference will bring the focus on orphans, adoption and foster care.
