Mission Statement
PFGLA was founded in 2020 as a partnership between McCarty Memorial Christian Church (McCarty) and the Jewish Center for Justice (JCJ), to address core needs vital to community members’ quality of life, such as food access, job and economic security, primary education support, and workforce development.
Description
PFGLA advocates for investing intentionally in our communities, in a manner that fosters sustainability and growth from within and can be replicated for long-lasting positive impact. We do this through the work of our three programs.
Project Jubilee is a paid workforce development program that works with violence-impacted youth, youth who have been pushed out of traditional schooling, and formerly incarcerated individuals.
Freedom Farms aims to democratize and scale urban farming and enhance food accessibility by building a network of urban farms among South and West LA communities.
Read lead Freedom Schools is a free summer school and after school program for school-aged children, dedicated to expanding access to culturally competent reading comprehension and education support.
