Young Stars in Action
The Young Stars put their life planning training into action as they learn more about college enrollment, engage in neighbor to neighbor community outreach, and provide peer-to-peer training to Watts and Inglewood 8th graders.
El Camino College’s Path to Enrollment

“The rubber hits the road the first few months of senior year” is how Skyler started off explaining the college enrollment process to his fellow Young Stars members. “The earlier you start, the more fulfilling and rewarding the entire process will be.” The Youth Resilience Institute continues to strengthens its relationship with West Angeles Education and Enrichment Program (EEP) to support these young stars as they identify and apply to colleges and trade schools.
