As schools and public spaces reopened for the 2021-22 academic year, we focused on building and strengthening our partnerships and seeking new collaboration opportunities. We helped our current school partners to keep our students college-bound while they focused on safety measures and learning loss. We began relationships with new organizations to bring more opportunities to new corners of Los Angeles. We engaged our corporate partners to provide our students with exclusive internships while advancing their diversity and inclusion.
Community-building also meant embracing the return to in-person events with our students, giving us more and new opportunities to engage. We reconnected with many and met some of them in person for the first time.
