City of Angels: Building Bridges, Transforming Lives for a stronger community is a program that has made a significant impact on over 6000 youths and their families. It focuses on empowering at-risk youths and low-income families in Southern California. Committed to building bridges that transcend socioeconomic boundaries, promoting social mobility, and transforming lives. Through our partnership with local emergency services and law enforcement agencies, we collectively work towards creating a cohesive community where safety, support, and opportunity are accessible to all.
Together, we are shaping a brighter future, empowering individuals and families, and nurturing a stronger, more resilient community.
The City of Angels is one of our most established and effective programs, addressing one of the most pressing issues in our society today: the strained relationship between Emergency Services personnel (Police, Fire, EMT) and the communities they serve.
Through City of Angels, we aim to create safe spaces for kids to interact with emergency personnel in a way that is comfortable, positive, and fosters open communication. Our program also helps to humanize the communities that first responders engage with. In order to build healthy communities, we must break down the barriers that separate us. City of Angels is a vital step towards creating a more connected and cohesive society.
The City of Angels program is an initiative aimed at bridging the gap between basic safety net personnel and young people in low-income neighborhoods, with the goal of ending tragedies that occur due to misconceptions and misunderstandings. The program seeks to ensure that kids are not afraid to call for help when they need it and that law enforcement officers have the skills and confidence to interact with the communities they serve.
City of Angels events are designed to be casual and emphasize the "person behind the badge," reminding participants that police officers, firefighters, and EMTs are people too. By building bridges between emergency personnel and the community, the program aims to promote understanding, trust, and cooperation,
ultimately creating a safer and more united society.
