Flintridge Center is currently our primary partner.
As cycles of poverty, community violence and incarceration persist throughout Los Angeles County. These issues are systemic – their programs address the root causes of trauma to ensure that everyone has the opportunity to thrive. This revolving door of recidivism disproportionately impacts communities of color and traps families in cycles of poverty and perpetuates community violence. Our youth programs remain focused on Pasadena & Altadena while almost 50% of adults served come from other communities in Los Angeles County.
They provide a complete union education in 14 trade sectors for underprivileged people to get them directly into a union job, with multiple centers in the greater LA area.
The work they do is incredible!
