A Shared Effort

It Takes a Community

Great things happen for young people when an entire community moves in the same direction.

Families
Schools
Churches
Businesses
Local leaders

We meet students where they are, then we walk alongside them toward who they're called to become.

The Whole Child

Six Pillars, One Mission

A complete framework for academic, emotional, physical, social, and spiritual growth. Each pillar serves a different part of the same student. Together they form what we mean by the whole child.

01

Academic Success

High dosage tutoring, STEM lab, college and career readiness. Every student builds a strong academic foundation and a clear path to what's next.

02

Wellness and Healing

Counseling, mentoring, supportive group spaces, and a welcoming drop in lounge. The emotional well being that helps young people thrive.

03

Sports and Healthy Living

Organized leagues, open gym, fitness, dance, nutrition, and outdoor adventure. Healthy bodies build focused minds.

04

Leadership and Character

Leadership academy, character education, faith formation, and a student leadership council. We don't just serve youth, we form leaders.

05

Arts and Expression

Visual arts, music, theater, spoken word, and media production. Inglewood's young people are creators of culture, and this is where they create.

06

Family and Opportunity Access

Parent workshops, family resource hub, mentoring support, internships, and college tours. Strong families and expanding horizons change everything.

Our Values

What Anchors Us

Three convictions that hold the work steady, no matter what changes around it.

i.

We See the Whole Child

Academic, emotional, physical, social, and spiritual growth belong together. We invest in all of it, not just the parts that are easy to measure.

ii.

We Invest in Roots, Not Activities

Programs come and go. Identity, character, and belonging last a lifetime. We build for the second category first.

iii.

Inglewood Youth Will Lead Inglewood

This city is being shaped right now, and our young people are ready to help shape it. We're betting on them, on purpose.
