"I feel overwhelmed at home and end up being 0 productive. My house is usually always <br />loud and something is always going on and I end up getting distracted, energy to study or <br />do work leaves." <br />"For me, there's usually a lot of distractions in the background so it makes me feel <br />unmotivated to do work at home." - Middle College, loth Grade <br />"I have younger siblings and sometimes I can't focus." <br />4. Spaces Are Inaccessible: While some places for youth exist in Santa Ana, youth noted <br />that they were inaccessible due to their location. Having a central location for youth to <br />convene is especially important, given that most youth who participated in our focus <br />groups reported either walking or using OCTA to navigate the city. According to <br />American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates for 2021, 30% of Santa Ana households <br />either have 0 or 1 personal vehicle(s) available.15 <br />"I believe these types of spaces allow for the healthy building of relationships with peers <br />and other teens. However, I feel that most centers are often secluded in the northern <br />region of Santa Ana, with students from schools such as Saddleback and Godinez having <br />a more difficult time to get there. - Saddleback, 12th Grade <br />"I would love for there to be areas where teens my age hang out regularly, but they're <br />often far or inaccessible." - OCSA, 9th Grade <br />5. Few Spaces for Young Adults: While some of the high school students we <br />interviewed were able to participate in college prep programs or teen programming after <br />school, youth who had already graduated high school reported not having many places to <br />go after class or work. While the Santa Ana Public Library and the Salgado Community <br />Center have youth spaces and programming, they are geared towards youth ages 13-17.16 <br />"I feel like it is very hard to feel like there is a community for youth in Santa Ana and this <br />is something I wish to feel." - Community College, 1st Year <br />15 <br />https://data.census.gov/table?q=public+transportation&g=l60XXOOUS0669000&tid=ACSDT5Y202l .B082 <br />01 <br />16 https://www.santa-ana.org/teen-hub/ <br />
