Our Problem
In Los Angeles County, the divide between rich and poor has become sharply pronounced: the wealthiest 20% of households earn on average about $331,300/year, while the bottom 20% average just around $16,900/year—a gap of nearly 20-1. Los Angeles County's overall income inequality measure hovers near 0.50, placing it among the most unequal large counties in the nation. This extreme imbalance doesn't just reflect numbers; it translates into everyday hardship for millions of residents, especially in vulnerable communities, who struggle to afford everyday life essentials. Community support and enhancing financial literacy are essential to bridge this gap and improve the lives of those affected.
growing Income Inequality
In Los Angeles County, growing income inequality has pushed housing, security, and opportunity out of reach for hundreds of thousands of residents. The result is that many working families live on the edge—unable to afford stable housing, access healthy food, or build financial security—while a small share controls a disproportionately large portion of the region's wealth and housing. This growing divide threatens the well-being, health, and future of entire communities, particularly vulnerable communities that lack access to essential resources. Community support and financial literacy are crucial in bridging this gap and fostering a more equitable environment for all.
Our career & financial education Programs
Career Counseling
Our career counseling services are designed to provide community support for youth and individuals from vulnerable communities by offering personalized guidance and practical career pathways towards economic stability. Through one-on-one coaching, career exploration, and skills assessment, participants gain clarity about their strengths, interests, and long-term goals. We offer hands-on support with resume building, interview preparation, job readiness, and career planning to help overcome barriers to employment. Additionally, we emphasize financial literacy to empower participants with the confidence, knowledge, and resources needed to secure meaningful employment, pursue career advancement, and achieve lasting financial independence.
Financial Education
Our financial literacy program provides essential community support to individuals and families in vulnerable communities, equipping them with the knowledge and tools necessary to take control of their financial future. Through practical, easy-to-understand education, participants learn how to budget effectively, manage debt, build credit, increase savings, and make informed financial decisions. We focus on real-life solutions that tackle everyday challenges such as paycheck-to-paycheck living, rising costs, and limited access to financial resources. By strengthening financial confidence and accountability, our program helps participants reduce financial stress, build long-term stability, and create pathways to economic independence and generational wealth.
