Description

Franco sits down with La'Toya Cooper, a RightWay alum who was recently appointed to the position of Youth Commissioner by the LA County Board of Supervisors as part of the county's first-ever Youth Commission.

According to its website, the Youth Commission is the official youth advisory body to the County. We are a youth-led organization that promotes youth participation in County affairs and policy development. Our members have experience in the foster care, juvenile justice, and homelessness systems. The Commission also provides a forum for youth perspectives, empowering Commissioners to impact the systems that are intended to serve and support them, their families, and their communities.
