Abstract
Living in a society with an increasing number of youth from all walks of life with different talents, goals, ambitions, and energy, one might conclude that these factors are enough for them to have a brighter future. Unfortunately, it doesn’t work like that, especially when nothing is done to guide and support them to achieve success in their pursuit and endeavors. The youth of today are equally faced with several kinds of challenges, especially emancipated foster youth. Several individuals, private and government organizations have set up intervention programs for them. One such program that I am proud to be a part of is the Guardian Scholars Program (GSP) at Los Angeles Trade Technical College (LATTC). LATTC was founded in 1925 as the Frank Wiggins Trade School, Trade-Tech is the oldest of the nine public two-year colleges in the Los Angeles Community College District (LACCD). In this chapter, I’ll be sharing with you how we started, the roles we've played in giving emancipated foster youth a better life, some of our experiences, challenges, successes, etc. In summary, the number of emancipated foster youth is ever increasing. I believe if we want to break even and have a future that we will be proud of, then we all have a role to play in the life of emancipated foster youth.
