Our Mission
Our Mission
To provide timely solutions to real life challenges that marginalized communities face on a daily basis, beginning with an emphasis on youth, obtain and distribute resources that will contribute to the health and wellness of the underserved.
Our Concept
Our Mission
Beginning with disadvantaged communities, form and lead a collaborative of educators, public servants, community and corporate leaders.
CRC is a new nonprofit lead by professionals steeped in decades of community advocacy and leadership. Our approach is simple: Use our skill sets that have been developed over decades to bring resources to BIPOC communities.
Our Impact
CRC will train and create advocates for families, friends and community members that face housing, education, health/wellness and workforce challenges. Understanding how movements gain traction we know that we have to concentrate our efforts in a model that will shed light on the disparity of support in low-income communities in order to scale up our efforts to address green space and educational issues in the future.

Social and Emotional EDucation SEED
ELA Greening Initiative
The ELA Greening Initiative works to improve the environment of our community members through environmental awareness and reversing the lack of safe, clean and accessible greenspace. This effort will begin with our Green Space for Pollinators Project. Our program aims to create pollinator gardens in schoolyards, and housing developments that will promote environmental education while providing much needed habitat for butterflies, bees and other pollinators.

We will utilize our experience to bring on financial, in-kind, nonprofit and civic leader support. An advisory committee will be made up of corporate, education and community leaders that will lend their expertise to our cause. We will build a support network that will be dedicated to supporting our hyper focused effort to mobilize resources to make an immediate impact in our first chosen community of East Los Angeles and surrounding communities.
