Educational barriers for youth in foster care are formidable and complex, with only 50% of youth in foster care receiving a high school or equivalency diploma by the time they age out of care, and 1% to 11% of current and former youth in foster care completing a college degree. Despite robust research about the educational outcomes of youth in foster care, little is known about the educational experiences of youth in foster care who are LGBTQ—who represent nearly 20% of youth in care. Within this Community Based Participatory (CBPR) study, in depth qualitative interviews explored the experiences of 25 youth formerly in foster care, all of whom are LGBTQ, between the ages of 18 and 26 in Los Angeles County. Findings revealed that these youth shared educational barriers and challenges common to all youth in foster care, in addition to experiencing chronic bullying and harassment within K-12 settings. For those youth who were able to attend college, California’s network of campus-based support programs for current and former youth in foster care were hugely supportive.
