In a lot of different situations, homeless youth are spoken for; often in law-making, in the media, and in education, people assume what homeless youth would need. We want homeless unaccompanied youth to be able to speak for themselves. RAISING ME is a podcast produced by Starting Right, Now (SRN) and WEDU, with support from Humana Foundation and Hillsborough Education Foundation. We're getting ready to blow up the best kept secret - beautiful unaccompanied youth.
