The Los Angeles chapter of Project GRAD is located directly across from the St. Patrick’s Catholic School on Erwin Street and Willowcrest Avenue. There are high proportions of young Americans leaving school unprepared and this national, non-profit program has stepped up to bridge that gap.
Since 1999, it has been providing guidance to young, low-income students facing obstacles that can cause them to drop out. Working closely with students, teachers and parents, the program's ultimate goal is to improve the approach of teaching basic skills in the classroom. Donations and volunteers are welcome.
