Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: This paper discusses risk and resilience among a group of sixty homeless youth by examining in-depth interview narratives about their educational experiences. The authors profile those who have dropped out and those who have graduated high school, and illustrate the factors that predict these outcomes. The paper further outlines some of the obstacles that can derail youth in terms of education, and conversely the supports that can help homeless youth succeed. The authors conclude by offering a number of policy suggestions that can help homeless youth re-attach to education.
