Program accomplishments
- CITY SCHOLARS FELLOWSHIP FOR EDUCATION: In high-poverty, under-resourced communities, education nonprofits play a critical role helping youth succeed both in and out of the classroom. To survive and thrive, quality education nonprofits depend upon resourceful, resilient, and collaborative leaders who need more than heart to keep the lights on and the doors open. Because education counts and leadership matters, we've partnered since 2014 with a growing corps of executive volunteer donors, corporate and foundation partners, and community supporters to sponsor the CITY SCHOLARS FELLOWSHIP FOR EDUCATION. As a collaborative, multi-year leadership institute, our Fellowship for Education invests in and partners with a diverse community of highly-motivated nonprofit CEOs (distinguished as City Scholars Foundation Fellows) to grow out-of-school time and school-based education nonprofits (currently 23) from survival to success to significance. Together, our Foundation Fellows and the education nonprofits they lead empower over 40,000 low-income, high-potential youth each year throughout the five-county Greater Los Angeles region to succeed in school, at work, and in life.
