I work for Planned Parenthood of Santa Barbara as a community health educator and the population of students I work with are second and third generation Latino youth. They are struggling with racism, classism, ageism, sexism and educational discrimination and it’s amazing how tough life can be for these youth of color in such a geographical paradise. …The students I am privileged to work with are incredible, and Planned Parenthood is dedicated to their education…”
