Subscribe to Among Us: Invisible Experiences Impacting Youth

Stories of complexity, resilience and progress: The state of the foster care system in the US. Foster youth are often invisibilized as they navigate education systems, the effects of structural racism, challenges of poverty and homelessness. This season, we explore the inner workings of the foster care system with those working within it and the students impacted by it. Among Us from UCLA’s Center for the Transformation of Schools uplifts the experiences of youth furthest from opportunity, and uncovers how systems and structures both in and out-of-school are either helping or harming young people. Through conversations with community leaders, scholars, advocates, and youth who have persevered, we examine the barriers preventing students from thriving—and what we all can do about it.
