Compton Advocates Coalition

The RISE program empowers communities through civic education, leadership development, and community engagement. It offers workshops on government, voting, and advocacy, while fostering block clubs and roundtables for local input. Job readiness skills include resume writing, interview techniques, and dress for success. The program aims to build strong, informed, and connected residents equipped to lead, collaborate, and improve their community and economic prospects.

Compton and surrounding communities have historically been underserved by government assistance, leaving community members unsupported in unclean and unsafe environments. The Compton Advocates Community Empowerment Hub program will create a central location, a “hub” where service providers, nonprofits, and community members can access workshops, brainstorm new programs, and build a directory of existing resources to determine where the gaps lie.

The Compton Advocates Empowerment Hub will serve as a central hub in the Compton community, connecting residents to resources, workshops, and events for personal and professional development. It also serves as a safe space for civic engagement and community involvement. Additionally, the hub provides a venue for local organizations to utilize for their programming, fostering collaboration and amplifying their impact within the community.
