Emerging Light is a non-profit organization that opened in May 2008, and is based in Los Angeles County, California. Our immediate objective is to provide support services for youth in surrounding communities of all backgrounds and circumstances by creating real relationships to fill real needs. By creating these mentor relationships with volunteer adults, youth can be built up through instruction, tutoring, career mentorships, vocational training, training for independent living, and other related services. These services are designed to improve educational performance, personal achievement, and build better futures. We partner with the Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS), the local communities, schools and churches in providing these services to all youth. Due to our partnerships, we are able to reach out and collaborate with schools, communities, foster families, group homes of all ethnicities to create free youth clubs where the relationships can be built. Every effort is built under the foundation of true relationships, where boys and girls can be raised up to men and women, under loving guidance and honest care as the adult volunteers give their time, experience, love and expertise to the youth, and then their families. Emerging Light is an entirely volunteer run and operated organization. PARTNERSHIP OPPORTUNITIES - There are many ways to partner with Emerging Light as an organization. "The kids love you guys! Thank you so much for all you do for the youth! They needed mentors to guide them in life and they are finding it at the youth clubs and through your team of volunteers." ~ Adela Estrada, DCFS |
