Does anyone know of organizations that are helping young people who have been deported? Organizing online classes for credit, support groups, buddy system (like BigBrothers/BigSisters), even fun things like book or movie clubs. Anything to support them and maintain connection to us.

All the gear, multiple sunscreen bottles - it adds up for people and families who are already stretched thin with rising costs. In Australia - there are some public sunscreen dispensers! Public infrastructure could make a huge difference for people #AYACSM

I should also add a barrier is cost! I'm not sure about the US but high quality sunscreen is not cheap here in Canada and neither are UPF clothes (many brands needing to be imported from the States). #AYACSM
