At A Place Called Home, we envision a world where your zip code does not determine your future; where all children have the opportunity to find happiness and success in life. For 30 years we have served our community — inspiring, encouraging, and supporting the young people in South Los Angeles to achieve social, emotional, and economic success. Join us!
A Place Called Home provides a safe, nurturing environment with proven programs in arts, education and wellness for the young people in South Central Los Angeles to help them improve their economic conditions and develop healthy, fulfilling and purposeful lives.
The community served by APCH is historically under-resourced and suffers from generational poverty and persistent adversity. Families in South Los Angeles face some of the most difficult conditions in our city and country.
A crime rate 60% higher than the national average
88% of reporting families living at or below the federal poverty line
Nearly 50% of students don’t graduate from high school
20% the number of college graduates as the rest of the nation
Unemployment rate three times as great as the national average, and even higher among young adults
Families of four and more have a median annual income under $28,000
That’s where we come in. Since our founding, A Place Called Home has had the privilege of serving more than 20,000 young people and families, empowering them to self-reliance and ownership of their own lives. With your help, we will continue to grow and serve another 20,000 more young people and families in the years to come.
Committed to a culture that fosters personal responsibility and celebrates creativity and diversity, APCH staff and members engage in daily activities informed by our core R.E.A.C.H. values: Respect, Empathy, Accountability, Courage and Hope.
