Episode 7 Barriers in Education and the Importance of Mentorship (Christina Loc)
Education is more than schools and degrees. For youth in care, to be educated means to be prepared and equipped to handle complex life situations. When you have a time limit on the support given to you to survive you begin to experience a lot of pressure to make sure you are fully prepared once the support stops. For youth in and from care, life skills are a lot more important than math or biology and mentors are more valuable to us than teachers. Chistina Loc (our Social Media and Marketing Manager) is a leader, a mentor, an advocate, and a good friend who is here to speak with us about her journey with education.
