Background
Since its founding in 1980, Para Los Niños has played a pivotal role in supporting children and families in some of the most underserved communities in Los Angeles, through high quality education and comprehensive social services.
After 30 years of providing quality educational programming to children in poverty, we have concluded that for students to succeed, we must provide children and their families comprehensive, integrated and co-located social support embedded in the school environments.
Along with academic and social supports that are provided in safe and engaging environments before, during, and after school, the new Para Los Niños Integrated Model of Urban Education creates integrated and coordinated systems of culturally-relevant support, with community partnerships and professional communities of invested stakeholders working collaboratively to improve the education, physical health, mental health, safety, and economic well-being of children and their families.
Mission
Helping children and their families succeed in school and in life.
Purpose
Para Los Niños exists to close the achievement gap created by poverty by building on the strengths of children and their families in urban learning communities, supporting academic achievement and social well-being.
