LA Promise Fund Data & Publicity Release Form

Agreement

For more than two decades, LA Promise Fund has uplifted schools, students and families in South LA to ensure more Black and Latinx students are prepared for success in college, career, and life. Today, we accomplish this goal as an non-profit education management organization that runs two South LA charter schools and coordinates high impact educational enrichment programming to ensure students are college and career bound. Our two schools, Russell Westbrook Why Not? Middle and High Schools (“Russell Westbrook Why Not? Academy”), advance a college-prep culture and integrated digital media arts-themed education, with significant parent engagement, socio-emotional support, and leadership development.

Simultaneously, LA Promise Fund works with schools county-wide to offer a portfolio of programs that foster motivated, engaged, and directed students poised for academic, professional, and personal success. Currently, these regional programs include a focus on
female empowerment, STEM, media arts, college readiness, career exposure and work- based learning, school improvement design, and parent engagement. We work alongside a network of essential partners, students, parents, teachers, and school leaders to build strong schools that increase educational equity within South LA and beyond.
