Teen Trainers

Since 2005, Teen Trainers has been acting as educators and advocates for youths in the Foster Care System. Teen Trainers are a group of current and former foster care youth who speak to groups about their experience in foster care. Their goal is to reach out, volunteer and give back to the community. They share their personal stories of struggle and triumphs with the hope to inspire other foster youth, educate, and be the best they can. Their purpose is to clear the disbeliefs and increase the success of foster youth. Invite them to speak. Visit the Teen Trainers website to learn.


MISSION
To help clear up the myths and negative beliefs of youth in the Foster Care System, while we help shape it into a better system for everyone.

VISION
To raise awareness and educate the public about the critical issues and challenges facing foster youth nation-wide.

"These dynamic young individuals are foster youth or former foster youth of Five Acres... who speak to various foster families, educational, civic and business groups around Los Angeles County, giving their audiences insights into the foster care system and sharing their very personal experiences... acting as the voices of other youth alike"
