LACCF Receives LA2025 Grant from the Goldhirsh Foundation

LA2050 was launched in 2011 by the Goldhirsh Foundation to inspire an outbreak of civic activism and to develop a roadmap for the future of the Los Angeles region. The organization engaged tens of thousands of Angelenos and sought the input of a group of academic and advocacy exports in forming our vision and outlining our five goals – to make Los Angeles the best place to connect, create, learn, live, and play. Since that time, we have leveraged our financial, human, and social capital to drive progress.

FutureReady is a dynamic partnership between the Guardian Scholars Program (GSP), the LACC Career Center, and the Break It to Make It (BITMI) initiative. With LA2050 funding, they will provide trauma-informed success coaching, paid industry-exploration opportunities, and customized career pathways for foster youth and formerly incarcerated students — populations that often fall through the cracks of traditional education and workforce systems.
