Founded in 1994, the Coalition for Engaged Education (“Coalition”)’s decades of experience have proven that exposure to nature as eco-therapy is remarkably effective in reaching transition-age, systems-impacted youth. Thanks to a recent two-year government grant, the Coalition will now have the financial means to launch a year-round, structured schedule of eco-therapy activities for our youth. However, an LA2050 grant will ensure that we have full funding to support this new critical facet of our programming in its augural year.

Engaging, Empowering and Uplifting Systems-Impacted Youth
Since 1994, the Coalition has created a pathway out of the cycle of poverty and recidivism for 3,700+ transition-age youth, ages 16-26, impacted by the juvenile justice and/or foster care systems throughout L.A. County. We mitigate systemic inequities facing these at-promise youth through individualized, intensive mobile case management, a wide variety of arts, educational, therapeutic and enrichment outlets and prosocial activities, academic, employment, legal, health, and housing support, and youth-led community organizing and advocacy.
