Meet Alan
Alan (8 months old) entered care the day he was born. He was removed from his biological mother due to prenatal drug exposure. His caregiver wanted to enroll him in baby sign language classes so he could be given the gift of language before he could speak.
Meet Jeremiah
Eight-year-old Jeremiah entered care at age 4. He was removed from his biological parents due to physical abuse and domestic violence and currently lives with a foster family.
Meet Emilio
20-year-old Emilio is in their second year with Guardian Scholars. They entered care at age 14 after persistent physical and emotional abuse from their father. They’re currently double majoring in Sociology and Psychology at Southwestern Community College to ultimately transfer to SDSU.

Meet Jenny, Kevin, & Jason
