Programs · Los Angeles, CA

Four pathways, built to work together.

Each pathway addresses a real barrier facing Los Angeles youth, families, and caregivers — and each is stronger because it connects to the others. We're an early-stage organization, so here's exactly where every program stands today: what's piloting, and what's in development.

Piloting — being tested with early participants now
In development — designed, building toward launch
The connected model

Why we don't run these as four separate programs.

A child who's hungry can't focus. A parent under chronic stress can't show up the way they want to. A family navigating disability alone burns out. Address one barrier in isolation and the others pull it back down — so we build them as one system.

1Learning grows when wellness and nourishment are in place.
2Wellness holds when families feel supported, not judged.
3Families thrive when everyone — including the IDD community — belongs.
● Piloting

Youth & Family Academy

Education and mentorship that treat the young person and their family as one unit — building confidence, skills, and stability together.

What this includes
Tutoring & academic support
Creative arts & expression
STEM & digital skills
Mentorship & guidance
Parent & caregiver workshops
Life-skills & goal setting
● In development

Community Rest & Resilience

Accessible wellness for communities priced out of private care — focused on rest, stress regulation, and emotional resilience.

What this includes
Guided rest & restoration sessions
Stress & nervous-system regulation
Mindfulness & grounding practices
Caregiver wellness circles

Designed and ready to pilot once a delivery partner and funding are secured.

● In development

Food Justice & Summer Nutrition

Dignified food access for young people and families — treating nutrition as a foundation for learning and health, not an afterthought.

What this includes
USDA Summer Food Service meals
Healthy food access & distribution
Nutrition education
Family food resources
USDA status: We are pursuing USDA Summer Food Service Program participation, with renewal in progress for 2027. Meal service would activate once a qualifying site partner is secured. No meals are currently in service.
● In development

Inclusive Community Support

Belonging and participation for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities and their families — because inclusion is part of the foundation, not a separate track.

What this includes
Life-skills & independence building
Social & community connection
Caregiver support & respite
Inclusive enrichment activities

Every pathway moves faster with a partner behind it.

Sponsor a pilot cohort, host a program site, or fund a pathway into launch. Or give directly — every contribution helps move a program from planned to running.
