We use education as a tool to empower communities of color to unlock their ability to change their lives and the world around them.
We work to transform neighborhood conditions by improving the built environment and expanding access to resources that enable residents to be healthy and thrive.
We build power within our communities to mobilize residents so that they can identify and challenge systems of injustice and to advance policies that directly impact their lives.
Every Friday we partner with Food Forward to distribute up to 16,000 pounds of produce to Inglewood Unified School District families and hunger relief agencies that serve South Los Angeles residents facing food insecurity during COVID-19.
Graduates from our Urban Scholars program have pursued further education at 32 campuses throughout the nation.
We anchor a growing coalition of residents, businesses, community and faith-based organizations working to advance housing justice in Inglewood.
SJLI's Summer of Equity is a series of exciting events, activations, and community conversations to lay the foundation for a shared vision and collective understanding of what equity means. Each event highlights a different issue impacting the community and brings solutions aimed to empower through education, create thriving communities, and change systems for and with youth and communities of color.
