A Message From The

I am deeply honored to serve as the Executive Director of the Southeast Community Foundation. Over the past five years as a Board Member and Vice Chair, I have witnessed the profound impact our educational efforts have had on our community. Our mission to uplift and empower students and their families in the Southeast Los Angeles region is not just a goal—it is a commitment to fostering growth, opportunity, and hope.

Every day, I am inspired by the resilience and determination of the young people we serve. Through High-Impact Tutoring (HIT) educational programs, our work is driven by a passionate belief in the potential of our local communities.

I am immensely grateful to our dedicated team of professionals, Board of Directors, donors, and collaborative partners who share in this vision. Together, we have created a network of support that touches lives and creates lasting change.

The Southeast Community Foundation is more than an organization—it is a beacon of hope for the underserved. We remain steadfast in our dedication to making a difference, knowing that through our collective efforts, we can build a brighter, more equitable future for all.

Sincerely,
Cassandra Petersen Harris
Executive Director
