Episode 36: Jenna and the Connection Award
Please note we ended up switching two episodes to get one recorded after this one out in time for National Children's Day and Children & Youth Grief Awareness Day. In this episode, we say this is episode 35 but it is episode 36.
Please join Krista the host of the Upopolis podcast as she chats with special guest Jenna, a youth who has been a member of Upopolis for 6 years and is one of the 2022 Connection Award Winners. Jenna talks a lot about embracing who you are and the value of programs like summer camps and virtual communities established for youth with medical diagnoses.
