About Know Your Rights:
The youth and young adults in our community often have questions about how to interact with law enforcement. At Know Your Rights Trainings, volunteer attorneys provide important information and guidance, based on curriculum developed by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Southern California. The purpose of the trainings is to keep community members safe and preserve their rights during interactions with law enforcement.
Community organizations throughout Pasadena, Altadena, and the greater Los Angeles area request Know Your Rights Trainings for their program participants. Flintridge plays a coordinating role, and also provides the trainings to our own program participants in Youth of Promise and the Apprenticeship Preparation Program.
Know Your Rights Trainings are just one piece of our multifaceted effort to reduce recidivism, prevent violence, and increase community wellness.

Mission Statement
To break the cycle of poverty and violence through community planning, innovation and action.
Description
Flintridge has been working in the Northwest Pasadena/ West Altadena community for over 30 years through a continuum of prevention and intervention programs with the goal of improving educational achievement, breaking down barriers to employment, and steering community members away from the cycle of crime, violence and incarceration.
Two of our main services are our mentoring and after school programs, which altogether serve more than 150 youth, who are at risk of dropping out of school or joining gangs, per year and our Apprenticeship Preparation Program, which prepares and supports previously incarcerated and gang impacted individuals for careers in the construction trades. Moreover, as the City of Pasadena's official Institutional Home for Community and Gang Violence Prevention/Intervention Programs and Positive Youth Development, Flintridge collaborates with local community partners to continuously develop and strengthen programs in response to the specific needs of our community.
