Mission Statement
At the Social Justice Learning Institute, we are dedicated to improving the education, health, and well being of youth and communities of color by empowering them to enact social change through research, training, and community mobilization.
Description
Formalized in 2008, the Social Justice Learning Institute (SJLI) grew out of the early vision and success of the Black Male Youth Academy (BMYA). Now, SJLI is thriving with programming developed by and for the larger community, which addresses a plethora of health and education equity concerns. BMYA has expanded its outreach to support the needs of all youth of color under the umbrella of Urban Scholars . Also, access to fresh food is blooming in Inglewood thanks 100 Seeds of Change , a CSA, and a Farmers' Market.
