LEARN ·2025 Grants Challenge“Golden” Ratio for Maximizing Effectiveness
We maximize our effectiveness for helping young people (potty-trained-age through 12th grade) attending Rising TIDE in downtown Long Beach by maintaining our “golden” ratio of one staff member or volunteer for every three students. This enables us to give individualized attention and build transformative relationships that launch them into becoming the best version of themselves.
CREATE ·2024 Grants ChallengeStarting on the Right Foot
Our Work Preparedness Program (WPP) is designed to give young people opportunities for development, growth & success by preparing them with age-appropriate work experience. The main objective is to come alongside young people to motivate, empower & equip them to reach overall success. The underlying objective is for participants to be in a position of employment that gives them a glimpse of working with a purpose beyond monetary gain. We hope that the training they receive will prepare them to be well-rounded, productive members of society.
