Inspirational Journeys: Stories that Matter

This week, Miriam Cobb discusses how Empty Frames Initiative helps young adults transition out of the foster care system into thriving adults. Miriam Cobb is founder and director of Empty Frames Initiative, a non-profit dedicated to empowering orphaned and vulnerable youth as they transition out of state care. Empty Frames Initiative is inspired and driven by the heart of the Father. We believe everyone is created with a purpose. EFI looks to empower orphaned and vulnerable youth as they transition out of state care by providing training in life skills, counseling, community, and access to the Gospel. Within this role, Miriam was excited to be a part of the creation of their curriculum titled, "Storytelling Through Photography". This program combines art therapy techniques, documentary photography, and storytelling concepts to encourage participants to share their stories from their perspectives. The result of our first pilot session is The Story of Foster Care, Volume 1 that was made into a gallery and book.
