Sacramento State President Supports Foster Youth Success Program
A recent letter to the editor highlights the success of the Guardian Scholars Program at Sacramento State University, which supports former foster youth in their pursuit of higher education and career success. The program, which has been backed by scholarships and mentoring from community members, aims to improve the low odds of college and job success faced by foster youth. Sacramento State President Luke Wood, who was once a foster child himself, has been instrumental in providing visibility and support for the program both on and off campus. The letter, written by Margot Shinnamon Bach from Sacramento, expresses gratitude for the coverage of this initiative and emphasizes the importance of supporting foster youth who manage to reach college.
