 Raising Educational Achievement for Foster and Probation Youth in Los Angeles County

Current Activities

The ECC is:
 
  • Playing a leadership role in helping to reform the education programs in the County's juvenile halls and camps.

  • Overseeing the issuance of $100,000 in college scholarship funds to 12 probation youth.  These funds, provided by a private donor, meet the financial needs of these scholarship recipients throughout their undergraduate years.

  • Working at the local, state, and federal levels to enable the sharing of educational records electronically between county agencies and school districts.

  • Based on its report, Investing in the Future of L.A.'s Most At-Risk Children, working to design an integrated, countywide early childhood education/child welfare/probation initiative that builds on and links current efforts.
