May is Foster Care Awareness Month. A special episode of Ramplifi was just released on YouTube if you'd like to hear the powerful discussion between two of our VVC students.
For Foster Care Awareness Month 💙, Ramplifi The Podcast shares a deeply personal conversation with Yvette Chavarin, a VVC student and NextUp participant, as she opens up about her journey through the foster care system, education, self-advocacy, and building a future beyond it. 🌱
In a Ramplifi first 🎙️, Joseph Lopez—a returning guest, fellow VVC student, and NextUp member—takes over the mic to lead this meaningful student-to-student conversation rooted in honesty, resilience, and hope. 🤝
⚠️🚨 Listener discretion is advised. This episode includes discussions of drugs, abuse, violence, death, and other mature subject matter through a conversation between two Victor Valley College students reflecting on their experiences in foster care.
Listen now and hear a story that matters. 💫
