The ultimate goal of the Education Initiative is to ensure that our students are socially and academically prepared to graduate from high school on time, and are work ready and college bound. To this end, the Los Angeles Urban League will work across the lifecycle of the student, from Pre-K through high school. The Education Initiative will create opportunities for academic enrichment, promote healthy relationships with positive adult role models, facilitate connections with relevant career options, and encourage a supportive peer culture.
