A Message From Transitional Youth Empowerment
A child might enter foster care due to neglect, parental incarceration, abandonment, or a number of other reasons. For these children, education is not a priority with social services being more concerned with permanent housing for them. In partnership with Happy Trails for Kids, UCLA UniCamp's Transitional Youth Empowerment initiative recruits UCLA student volunteers to provide educational support, mentorship, and college readiness resources for the Los Angeles youth in the foster care system.
