Having spent a good portion of our first 30+ years working to establish Strive, we now move forward on the solid foundation that created.  Fully renovated; debt free; 100% equity in our facility; 120+ students daily with a perpetual wait list.

As we’ve now reached our 34th anniversary in 2024, we are seeking new blood, ideas, energy, and funding for Strive’s Board and our future. We seek those who have a heart for the social and community landmines our little miracles navigate every day and the willingness (through Board service) to help us impart to them that they can overcome their challenges & grasp the opportunities offered to them in this great country.

We are also reaching beyond the non-profit mindset to help us achieve our non-profit goals – developing and launching an edu-commercial profit venture that is popping its buttons with revenue potential as well as ‘empowerment’ potential for the child-student public to whom we will introduce it (see VocabuWord). For more information, please email Jim at Jim@Strive-la.org.

Please consider your circle of family, friends, and associates who may have an interest in helping take Strive into our next chapter… and forward this to them or have them contact me directly.  

If interested in scheduling a visit to Strive to discuss involvement, please call Jim at 323.779.1064 or email Jim@Strive-la.org. We look forward to hearing from you. Thank you.

Ongoing gratitude and enduring respect to our friend and former Board Member Joe R. Hicks
