Public Education Grants
The Southern California Education Fund was established by ONE LA, an affiliate of the Industrial Areas Foundation, as the training and education entity through which it is pursuing educational improvement and reform in Los Angeles and Southern California. At the school site, they organize teachers, parents and administrators to improve the school culture and promote effective teaching and learning; at the District level, they have also won improvements in policies and practices that undermine student achievement, including timely dispersal of special intervention funds so all students can have access to support services from the first day of the term, not half way into the school year as had previously been the case. Hazen’s one-year core grants of $35,000 in 2008 and 2009 support One LA-IAF to continue their work to increase the number of One LA member institutions and active leaders who are engaged in organized action to support strategies and policies for high quality public education for low-income LAUSD students of color.

Youth Development Grants
Southern Californians for Youth (SoCal for Youth) began in response to Proposition 21, the juvenile justice initiative that proposed that youth as young as 14 years of age be tried as adults and incarcerated in adult jails. Though the proposition eventually passed, SoCal for Youth coordinated a network of youth organizations to respond to Prop. 21 and succeeded in defeating the proposition in every area in which SoCal for Youth actively organized. Today, SoCal for Youth coordinates a network of organizations, offers skills and issue trainings and provides technical assistance to established and emerging youth organizing projects. The core organizational members of SoCal for Youth work on a range of issues including immigrant rights, environmental justice, educational justice and juvenile injustice. In the coming year, SoCal for Youth will strengthen its infrastructure and programs and support the youth organizing campaigns and projects of its membership organizations. Socal for Youth was awarded a grant of $20,000 to provide networking opportunities and technical assistance to youth organizing projects in Greater Los Angeles.
