Imagine growing up in Los Angeles without a safety net. For foster youth across Southern California, this is the reality—and the odds are steep. In this episode of Change Reaction Radio, we shine a light on the young people navigating life after foster care, and the organizations walking alongside them to build a bridge toward success.
We sit down with former foster youth Reyleen Delgado, Romi Lassally of Ready to Succeed, Syd Stewart of Better Youth, Inc., and Yaz Thomas - a Better Youth mentee - to talk about mentorship, empowerment, and creating real opportunity for kids raised in the foster system. From direct financial support to creative and career-building programs, this conversation is a powerful look at how targeted giving and dedicated community partners are rewriting the future for some of LA’s most resilient youth.
