ALL WAYS UP College Access and Success Summer Associates
 
 
 
The ALL WAYS UP Foundation, in partnership with six LA area non-profits, is seeking 19 Summer Associates to enhance the work that began this year as part of our Multi-Site College Access and Success Project. The focus of the VISTA Project is to increase the number of low-income students graduating college workforce ready and financially literate. Each of the seven organizations provides support to low-income youth, preparing them to make the transition to and/or through college. 826LA (Echo Park and Mar Vista): 826LA is a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting students ages 6 to 18 with their creative and expository writing skills, and to helping teachers inspire their students to write. ALL WAYS UP (Culver City): The mission of the All Ways Up Foundation is to help low-income, first-generation college students get to and through college. College Access Plan (Pasadena): CAP believes a postsecondary education is achievable for all students, and their mission is to prepare students for college success. Determined to Succeed (Los Angeles): Determined to Succeed’s mission is to provide academic and social-emotional support to highly motivated students from low-income minority families who will be first-generation college students. Operation Jump Start (Long Beach): Operation Jump Start helps low-resourced, high potential first-generation students get in, stay in, and graduate from a four-year college. The Social Justice Learning Institute (Inglewood): SJLI is dedicated to improving the education, health and well-being of youth and communities of color. South Central Scholars (Downtown Los Angeles): South Central Scholar’s mission is to assist highly motivated students from disadvantaged communities to achieve academic and personal success in college and beyond.
