Overview

Mission

To create and strengthen relationships with Greater Long Beach area children, youth, young adults, and their parents through programs that support physical and mental well-being, academic success, personal empowerment, leadership development, and nutrition.

What it reported doing in 2025

Safe Passage Initiative: In collaboration with the AOC7 Neighborhood Association and Long Beach Ambassador Program (CAP) this program was designed to enhance positive adult presence along school routes to help prevent violence, harassment, and unsafe situations. CAP volunteers regularly monitor areas surrounding Lincoln and Whittier Elementary Schools and Franklin Middle School, building trusted relationships with students, families, and school staff while strengthening overall neighborhood safety.

The verdict
