Supporters & Community Partners

Thank you to all the individuals, corporations, clubs, organizations, and foundations that have and continue to support us.

LAEP depends on a vast movement of supporters – including our board of directors, schools, corporate partners, volunteers, funders and our resource council. The work we do would not be possible without the generous support of many people. We would like to thank all of the individuals, corporations, clubs, organizations, and foundations that have supported us in the past and will continue to support us in the future.

Resource Council

Resource Council members assist our high school students in developing academic competency, as well as industry-related knowledge and skill, through stimulating classes and real-life learning experiences. They provide leadership and support to our staff, leadership and board, serving as advocates to educational, political, and business communities to raise awareness of the program and build community support. Our council provides valuable resources to our students and the organization, helping to raise our profile within their specific sector, linking students to new resources and opportunities. Interested in joining the Resource Council or learning more? Contact us.
