Abstract
The present research explores linkages between ethnic identity, education plans, and experiences during the Covid-19 pandemic among young adults. Longitudinal data were collected from a study of low-income, predominately Latinx and Black teens and parents. Bivariate correlation analyses were conducted. The results found that experiencing more risk during the pandemic was positively correlated with attending a community college. Additionally, ethnic identity was positively correlated with both attending a community college and a 4-year college. These results show that a sense of strong ethnic identity among Latinx and Black teens may be protective within the context of the Covid-19 pandemic.
