Pathways to Self-Sufficiency

SBCC helps open access to living-wage local jobs, higher education, and collaborative community-based economics.

Any robust strategy to build community capacity and spark locally-directed initiatives for positive change must address the opportunity gap in Los Angeles County's low-income communities. Individuals and families can effectively transform their own lives and lift up their neighborhoods on the basis of partnerships that work to identify and remove barriers to education, employment and economic success, and full civic participation.

 

SBCC's goal is to provide members of our communities with the tools and resources to carry out this personal and collective transformation over the long-term, and not solely as a short-term solution, through programs including:


Education & Youth Development
