Foster Care’s Invisible Youth – IN THE LIFE Media

There are approximately 400,000 youth in foster care in the United States. A disproportionate number of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning (LGBTQ) children end up in the system, though an exact count is unknown.

In this episode of IN THE LIFE, seven LGBTQ youth from the foster care system share their stories. Failed by their families, these young people go on to face rejection from foster families, invisibility within the system and incredible obstacles to healthy development. Don’t miss this in-depth look at LGBT youth in foster care by IN THE LIFE Media, with interviews from the Center’s Foster Care Project Coordinator and Intern.

The Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual & Transgender Community Center is proud to embark on an transformational building enhancement project designed to make everyone's Center experience the best it can be. Click here for more information.
