Why ICC Matters

When School Isn't in Session

ICC will exist to ensure that Inglewood's youth have access to supportive relationships, meaningful opportunities, and safe spaces to learn, flourish, and prosper during the hours and seasons when school is not in session.

i.

After School

The critical hours after the school day ends often leave youth without reliable supervision, enrichment, or a safe place to go.

ii.

Weekends

Weekends can bring gaps in structured programming, mentorship, and family support when young people need connection most.

iii.

Winter Session

During the extended winter break, youth still need consistent engagement, support, and welcoming spaces while school is out.

iv.

Summer Breaks

Summer can mean idle time and learning loss, making enriching, safe programming especially important for youth to keep thriving.

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.
