C11 College-bound program for low-income youth
The Thrive in Joy C11 program prepares high school students from low-income families for college. We currently serve students at USC Hybrid High in University Park and Esperanza High in East LA. We are expanding to two additional LA high schools serving similar student demographics for the 2023-24 academic year. C11 provides a curriculum focused on character development, opportunities for student-led entrepreneurial service-learning and supports individual HS students' college readiness as they prepare for higher education opportunities.
