Being the parent or caregiver of gifted and twice-exceptional children doesn’t suddenly become simple when they become adults. How do you stay connected, communicate well, respect independence, and support a gifted or 2e adult child on the bumpy road of adulthood without overstepping? Join us for shared stories, collective wisdom, and compassionate conversation.

STAR Academy families have planned a series of casual summer park meetups across the Twin Cities metro area — and MCGT families are warmly invited to join!
All hangouts start at 1:00 PM and typically last a couple of hours. Bring your own refreshments and activities and just show up — look for a group of friendly faces!

All are welcome!
