This session explores how Adverse Childhood Experiences make an impact in the lives of Foster Youth, how that is represented during their college experience, and the unintentional barriers often created by our institutions. This session will explore how a community college program has created avenues, through programming, that nurture student success and humanizes certain college processes. Finally, this presentation will explain the impact positive interactions with Foster Youth students can have on their educational and personal success. This session should particularly benefit participants who are interested in the success of Foster Youth, staff and/or Faculty that provide direct services and interactions with Foster Youth, and those concerned with providing a Trauma-Informed service approach to Foster Youth.
