Together with families, schools, and the community, LAEP facilitates access to and opportunities for quality educational and wellness practices that align resources, promote agency, build capacity, and create systems change.
Drawing on four decades of experience, LAEP has identified Six Core Elements schools and learning communities need to ensure children thrive in school and in life:
The strongest supports for a child’s education already exist within the homes and communities we serve. LAEP focuses on building on these strengths and breaking down silos or obstacles through strategic planning, skill-building, and partnering directly with families, teachers, principals, and community-based organizations to ensure sustainable progress.
Everything we do is community-centered, trauma-informed, healing-focused, and culturally relevant.
The ultimate goal: Children of every age, race, gender, socio-economic status, and ability are developmentally and academically prepared for success in school and in life.
LAEP can come alongside your community, as thought partners and collaborators, empowering you to drive transformation and liberation.
