Collective Impact Initiatives
L.A. Opportunity Youth Collaborative
Spearheaded by the Alliance for Children’s Rights, the Los Angeles Opportunity Youth Collaborative (OYC) is a multi-agency effort to improve education and employment outcomes for young adults who are, or have been, in foster care in Los Angeles. The OYC brings together public agencies, nonprofit organizations, educational institutions and employers to improve services and resolve systemic barriers that impact the ability of young people to benefit from education and employment opportunities.
The OYC supports youth on pathways to:
- High school graduation and GED attainment
- Post-secondary enrollment and credential completion
- Workforce readiness and gainful employment
2023 - 2024
Our Impact
“With the OYC, they don’t put you to the side until they need you. At meetings, they want our young leaders to stand up. We are out there, showing we have value.”
