Youth Engagement Resources
EDUCATION RIGHTS VIDEOS & FLYERS
Knowing educational rights enables youth to advocate for themselves, access necessary resources, and ensure they receive equitable opportunities. To support this knowledge, we are excited to share a new series created by system- impacted young people for system- impacted young people. These short videos and youth- friendly flyers cover various topics using skits and testimonials to inform young people and those who support them about their educational rights.
Watch and help amplify these voices by sharing the videos and flyers with your network! All videos are available for anyone to download and share with your networks. If you have any trouble downloading/accessing the social media guide and/or any of the links, please reach out to childprotection@ocp.lacounty.gov.
