Ideas worth spreading

Angel Trejo |

TEDxValenciaHighSchool

• March 2018

Education is important, and so is making sure every child receives an equal education. We as a society do our best to improve conditions for groups that disproportionately struggle like Latinos or African Americans. However the group that struggles the most is often left out of this effort. The foster youth of America are suffering and here, high school senior Angel Trejo, will discuss his experiences in foster care - hoping to shed light on this Silent Minority.
