There is a strong need in the Los Angeles inner-city for supportive programming that serves underrepresented youth of color in attaining postsecondary degrees. In collaboration with the Los Angeles Unified School District, the Neighborhood Partnership Program creates mentorship, leadership, and empowerment opportunities for both Occidental and LAUSD students. By providing reciprocal and transformative off-campus learning experiences, NPP uplifts the college’s mission of service and equity for the Oxy community and beyond.
