A Place Called Home for their Journey
Salvador visited The Journey Group, an after school program for underprivileged high schoolers in the South LA area at A Place Called Home . This is a safe space where young students can talk about their problems, ambitions, and goals in a supportive environment. In Journey, the students can volunteer in their community, try new things, and hear from local role models. Salvador talked to the students about his experiences growing up in a similar background and being an underrepresented student in higher education, explaining how these experiences formed decisions in the journey from high school to graduate school.
