Hidden in Plain Sight
Scholars Journal
Esme's research aims to explore the different support models across the UC, Cal State, and community college systems and how each institution supports Unaccompanied Homeless Youth. The goal is to advocate for institutions to recognize this population, shifting them from hidden to seen. This project focuses on shedding light on the need to create a unified support model across all higher education institutions in California while raising awareness about unaccompanied homeless youth to ensure these students have a seamless bridge to higher education, no matter which pathway they choose.
