Inside California Education: Foster Youth - Duration: 7:35.

♪♪

Marshal: The foster care system can be really,

really messed up.

Through the foster care system,

I experienced just about every kind of abuse.

I've had to endure different types of punishments.

It was really rough.

Going to school and getting picked up by someone that

doesn't look like me and then all everyone is asking

is 'Who's that?' And not knowing how to answer that.

Christina: Marshal was just four years old when the

police arrived at his home and arrested his parents.

That moment began his entry into the

foster care system...

a journey that would place him in dozens of foster

homes, sometimes moving every two weeks,

until the age of 15.

Marshal: From there, it was like,

OK, this kid isn't going to make it in the foster home.

So from that point on I was in group homes

until I was 18.

That's where for me where my drug addiction started,

where my alcoholism really kicked off.

Christina: Drugs and alcohol...

lead to stints in jail, followed by periods when

Marshal slept in his car.

But today, Marshal is doing what would have seemed

impossible a decade ago he's four years sober,

and a thriving college student at

California State University, Monterey Bay.

He credits the Bill Wilson Center in Santa Clara

for helping him rise above his past.

He regularly meets with one of the center's case

managers, Rebecca Trejo, for guidance and support.

Rebecca: He's grown so much, just to see him from where

he came in, you know, struggling day-to-day.

The most basic things and seeing him

so successful now.

You know, being in his own apartment

it's just amazing. It amazes me.

Christina: The Bill Wilson Center,

and other foster care providers like it,

are placing more young people into college

than ever before.

It's part of a broader, statewide effort that

began in 2012.

That's the year California enacted a new law extending

foster care services from 18 until the age of 21.

Amy: What it's meant for California,

is now we have almost 9,000 18-to 21-year olds in

foster care in California.

And we, for the first time, have the opportunity to

really help them make a safe,

supported transition into post-secondary education.

Sparky: Fifteen years ago, working with kids leaving

the foster care system at age 18,

we used to focus on just getting them through

high school or a GED.

Well that started changing about ten years ago,

where we said, in Silicon Valley,

you need to have a college education.

So our focus became, let's get kids into college.

Let's get youth in foster care to

graduate from college.

Because that's what you need in this valley to get a good

job, a paying job, where you can be successful.

Diana: She is good at a lot of things.

She has the same name as you!

Christina: Diana hopes that college will provide a fresh

path for her, and her young daughter.

Diana was in the foster care system from the age of 9

until she aged out at 21.

Diana: I remember having to move around a lot.

And really that affected my studies because I was always

having to continuously adjust to different schools

and different classes and that's why I always felt

like I was behind.

Christina: Diana dropped out of high school when

she was 17 years old.

She earned her GED a year later.

But she knew she wanted more for her growing family.

She joined the Bill Wilson Center's Transitional

Housing Program, which provides a range of services

for foster youth through the age of 25 helping with

everything from rent to food and transportation.

Ashley Rarick is the supervisor of the program,

as well as Diana's case manager.

Ashley: For a lot of foster youth,

they've been to 20 or more schools and been interrupted

multiple times in one academic year.

So you can imagine constantly having to move

and get used a new teacher, a new structure.

What you were working on in the last class is no longer

being worked on in the new class.

So we start out by ensuring do they have

a high school diploma?

If not, we'll work with them on a plan to get there.

And then next, on to post-secondary education.

The case manager is there every step of the way,

helping that young person complete each

and every step.

They were always checking in on me to make sure that I

was meeting upcoming deadlines.

So that I could stay on track with school.

When I was in high school I felt like I wasn't prepared

and I didn't get the help that I needed.

In contrast to that, when I started at Evergreen Valley

College, Bill Wilson Center, they made sure that I was

prepared to go to school.

Christina: Today, Diana in her final semester at

Evergreen Valley College in San Jose.

She's earning two associates degrees.

Next, she's transferring to a four-year university.

Amy: This is really about helping young people,

you know, get that academic credential,

earn a place in, in the living wage economy,

and have the opportunities for themselves and their

family to, to live with security,

and to live with dignity.

Ashley: In in this area, particularly in Santa Clara

County, you cannot afford to live a decent life,

a stable life, where you're not at risk of homelessness,

without a college degree.

Or a vocational certificate beyond high school.

This is the climate that we're in.

Christina: Although more foster youth are accessing

college now, challenges remain.

Many do not understand the financial aid resources

available to them.

So even though all foster youth are eligible for the

Pell grant, only 50 percent of them are receiving it.

An even fewer number are getting the Cal grant.

And many do not realize they can get help with

career technical education.

Amy: That's a very common misconception.

If a young person wants to go into a shorter-term

training program, they think,

"Well, I don't have to do the FAFSA, um,

because I'm going to be in the automotive,

uh, program at a local community college."

That is also eligible.

Those funds can also be used to offset the real

costs that go with those kind of programs.

Christina: Diana says...

she wants other foster kids to know that there are

resources available to them, financial or otherwise.

Diana: If they do choose to go to college,

know that they're going to be well supported and that

many opportunities are going to be heading their way.

But most importantly that they aren't in it alone.

Christina: For Marshal, he says he still deals with the

trauma he went through as a child,

memories that will never completely disappear....

Marshal: It's hard to overcome that.

And that really prohibits us from being successful.

Christina: But today, he IS successful.

He's on the path to graduate with a bachelor's degree

in collaborative health and community services,

with an emphasis in social work.

Marshal: Today my goal is to be a social worker and

effect positive change, you know,

and it's beautiful.

This journey is hard, but it is doable and worth it.

Narr: Did you know?

Foster youth get priority registration at California

community colleges and California State University

campuses under current state law.

Foster youth are also given priority for on-campus

housing at CSU campuses.

During academic breaks, foster youth are allowed

to stay in the housing at no additional cost.

Inside California Education: Saving the Yurok Language - Duration: 8:17.

♪♪

James: You're going to copycat me three times.

You're going to do this three times,

ok?

So.

(Speaking Yurok)

James:(Translates)

(Speaks Yurok)

Rob: JAMES GENSAW IS TEACHING THESE

STUDENTS AN ANCIENT NATIVE AMERICAN LANGUAGE.

IT'S ALSO HIS TRIBE'S NATIVE LANGUAGE.

James: All the words in Yurok,

I think they're so beautiful.

Rob: YUROK IS ONE OF THREE WORLD LANGUAGES OFFERED

TO STUDENTS AT EUREKA HIGH SCHOOL IN HUMBOLDT COUNTY

IT'S ONE OF SEVERAL PUBLIC SCHOOLS TEACHING YUROK IN

THE FAR NORTHERN REGION OF CALIFORNIA.

James: Not pare, but pare.

James: There's a lot of kids that take Yurok that take it

because just because they're curious and they want to

find out what it's all about.

Evelyn: I can learn Spanish or German anywhere else.

This is the only place I can actually learn Yurok.

I took it just out of interest in linguistics and

I really do like how it sounds.

It sounds aesthetically nice to me.

Rob: OTHER STUDENTS ARE LEARNING YUROK FOR DEEPER

REASONS THAN FULFILLING THEIR FOREIGN LANGUAGE

REQUIREMENT.

James: Probably about a quarter of the students

have Yurok descendancy.

So I think part of that trying to find out who they

are and find out a little bit more about themselves.

Rob: DANNY IS ONE OF THOSE STUDENTS WHO IS TAKING THE

ADVANCED YUROK LANGUAGE CLASS.

Danny: Mr. Gensaw not only teaches the language but he

also teaches the cultures and the stories that

come with it.

He's done so much to help this language.

James: When I started to learn this language,

there was - all my speakers were all in their 90s,

a couple that were close to 100 years old.

There's only 25 fluent speakers in Yurok.

Rob: THE LANGUAGE NEEDS ALL THE HELP IT CAN GET......

IT'S ON THE BRINK OF BECOMING EXTINCT.

James: Linguists 25 years ago predicted the

Yurok language was going to be extinct by the year 2010.

Rob: THE LAST KNOWN FULLY FLUENT NATIVE SPEAKER PASSED

AWAY IN 2013.

ALL THAT REMAINS TODAY ARE ROUGHLY THIRTY

CONVERSATIONALLY FLUENT SPEAKERS AND ONLY SEVERAL

PEOPLE WHO CAN SPEAK YUROK AT A HIGH FLUENCY LEVEL -

WITH JAMES BEING ONE OF THEM.

James: I think when any endangered language becomes

extinct or loses its last speaker,

I think that we as humans lose part of our own humanity.

Rob: FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS THE YUROK - WHOSE NAME MEANS

'DOWNRIVER PEOPLE' - THRIVED IN DOZENS OF VILLAGES ALONG

THE KLAMATH RIVER.......

IT WAS THEIR LIFELINE.....

USED FOR TRANSPORTATION, AND PROVIDING A RICH BOUNTY OF

SALMON AND OTHER ESSENTIALS.

Rob: BUT THE ARRIVAL OF WHITE SETTLERS AND THEIR

DISEASES DURING THE GOLD RUSH STARTED THE YUROK'S

DECLINE.

THOUSANDS DIED...

AND OTHERS WERE SENT TO BOARDING SCHOOLS ESTABLISHED

BY THE U.S. GOVERNMENT

TO ERADICATE THE YUROK CULTURE.

CHILDREN WERE PUNISHED FOR SPEAKING THEIR NATIVE

LANGUAGE AND FORCED TO LEARN ENGLISH.

BY EARLY 1900S, ONLY A FEW YUROK STILL SPOKE IN THEIR

NATIVE TONGUE.

James: It was like an apocalypse.

I mean our whole world changed.

It's a lot of deep wounds and it's going to take time.

It's not something that can be fixed in one generation

or two generations.

I think that all of us are working towards that healing

and I think the language plays an important role in

that healing process.

Rob: NOW THE PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM IS TRYING TO HELP

MAKE UP FOR WRONGS COMMITTED IN THE PAST.

James: I think it's a little ironic that part of the

reason the Yurok language almost became extinct was

because of the boarding schools and a school system,

but we can use that system and we can use as a tool to

revitalize our language and kind of breath life back

into the language.

Rob: THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS ARE AN INTEGRAL PART TO THE

TRIBE'S LANGUAGE RESTORATION PROGRAM.

Barbara: The long term goal is for our people to once

again be speaking only Yurok as our primary language.

Rob: BARBARA MCQUILLEN IS WITH YUROK LANGUAGE

RESTORATION PROGRAM, ESTABLISHED BY TRIBAL ELDERS

IN THE 1950S.

Barbara: We owe a lot to those elders that had enough

foresight to know that we needed to preserve

our language.

Rob: LIKE JAMES....

SHE TOO TEACHES YUROK.

SHE REMEMBERS ONE STUDENT IN PARTICULAR IN ONE OF HER

COMMUNITY LANGUAGE CLASSES SHE WAS TEACHING BACK IN THE

EARLY 2000'S.

Barbara: He really applied himself and I hadn't seen

anybody like that.

He had flash cards, he would write everything down,

he'd go home and practice, he'd come back the next

week, you know, ready to learn more and use

what he learned.

Rob: THE STUDENT WAS JAMES GENSAW.

Barbara: You know it's always a goal of a teacher

to have students learn more than than you are able to

teach them and he did that.

(Speaking Yurok)

James: To me I took on that responsibility and I don't

think of it as a burden.

I think of it as, somebody has to do it.

I think of it as something that I was chosen to do.

(Speaking Yurok)

Rob: SUSTAINING, AND SHARING THIS ESSENTIAL PART OF AN

ANCIENT CULTURE WITH FUTURE GENERATIONS IS EXACTLY WHAT

BARBARA, JAMES AND THEIR STUDENTS HOPE IS ALREADY

STARTING TO HAPPEN.

Luca: I'm taking this class because I am Yurok.

And my ultimate goal is to keep the language going,

to learn it completely so that I can pass it on to

younger people too.

Danny: It is part of my culture and if I can do

anything to help it, I definitely will.

Evelyn: The death of a language,

it goes hand in hand with the death of a culture and

that should be stopped as much as possible.

(Speaking Yurok)

Rob: EACH YEAR THE NUMBER OF YUROK SPEAKERS GROWS,

AND THIS LANGUAGE RESTORATION PROGRAM IS

WIDELY RECOGNIZED AS ONE OF CALIFORNIA'S

MOST SUCCESSFUL.

(Speaking Yurok)

(Rushing water)

James: One day the Yurok language will be a living

and flourishing language where it's

spoken everywhere.

Barbara: I know for sure it's going to happen,

may not happen in my lifetime.

But our language will be back,

our ceremonies will be back, and once again we're going

to be whole.

(SPEAKING IN YUROK)

James:All those elders, they're up there

(speaks Yurok) and they're looking

down and I think they're really happy.

♪♪

Narr: Prior to the arrival of Columbus,

about 300 indigenous languages were spoken

in North America.

Today, only half of those languages still exist.

Some languages, like Navajo in the Southwest

and Dakota in the Midwest, are thriving with

tens of thousands of speakers.

But many others are facing extinction,

with scholars predicting that only 20 indigenous

languages will remain by 2050.
