Are there mentoring programs for the older kids and teens?
FCC-SoCal collaborates with the UCLA China Care Bruins, a student organization that coordinates a buddy program for FCC-member children who are age 6 and older. In 2009, nearly 50 adopted youth were paired with college buddies and met monthly on campus for fun, relationship-building activities. The college student mentors, who are predominantly of Asian American heritage, help the kids to develop a positive racial identity and self-esteem. (Annual pre-registration is required.)
