Southeast Community Foundation

Our Vision

Southeast Community Foundation envisions a world where every student, regardless of background, has equal access to opportunities that empower them to realize their full potential, excel academically, and create positive change in their communities.

 

 

Our Mission

Southeast Community Foundation’s mission is to provide personalized and consistent high-dose tutoring and social-emotional support that empowers students from all backgrounds to achieve their goals. We are committed to fostering equal opportunities and equipping learners with the skills and confidence to make a positive impact in their lives and their communities.

 

 

Our Program

 

Southeast Community Foundation provides high-dose tutoring services to the students of Los Angeles who need help catching up after the devastating effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.  Our 10-week programs include tutoring sessions of up to 4 additional hours a week, are built on research-based methods, and are tailored to each student’s needs.  These programs are provided to students at no cost to their families.

 

 

Our Guiding Principles

 

SCF was started to address the inequalities within the communities of Los Angeles. In Los Angeles, just a few miles separate students with more than just distance. Basic infrastructure, income, and opportunity deficits in one community do not exist in another. We are here to address the educational inequalities with our programs and level the playing field for our students.

When we succeed in inspiring children about their abilities and their education at a young age, they are more likely to be excited about learning. We believe that all children have tremendous potential to learn and that students learn best when they are in a caring, supportive community of learners where their academic needs and social-emotional needs are addressed.
