Empowerment Community Garden

Works with local youth from Morningside High School to launch the city's first community garden. The Empowerment Community Garden, as a student-initiated student-run project, was launched by young men from the Black Male Youth Academy (BMYA) who's goals were to beautify the community, become civic leaders and build sustainable growth of organic foods in Inglewood, California.

Research in Action

Using action research, Urban Scholars students experience humanizing education and receive encouragement for academic success. We believe our program provides opportunities for each student to go to the college or university of their choice while becoming change agents in their community. We believe opportunities for academic development promotes their ability to be self-starters and their leadership, in turn, helps inspire others to achieve as well. Youth participate in activities that build community and add value to their environment through neighborhood projects and school beautification projects.
