“It’s really nice to have a voice and tell someone what you’ve been through because in foster care no one really sits down with you and asks you how you feel,” said high school foster care student Tiffany Emerson, who is currently spending her third year in the First Star UCLA Bruin Guardians Scholars Summer Academy. The First Star UCLA Bruin Guardians Scholars Summer Academy holds a four-week summer program that mentors 50 high school foster care students in order to assist them in reaching their goal of graduating from a four-year college. Watch this mini-documentary video about the experiences that both the students in the program and the UCLA student peer mentors share.
