Investing in people and their path to a brighter future.
We back underserved communities and provide a clear path to a better life.
We take a different approach to philanthropy and work relentlessly to break barriers while ensuring that we attack the underlying problems directly. Through intensive 1:1 partnership and support, we work together to create a clear path forward.
Providing the opportunity to go further.
We continuously focus on ensuring that our approach is viable and strategic, as we work to lift communities from the barriers that they are subject to. Our team works around the clock to create long lasting guidance, financial assistance, and direct support allowing people to stand on their own two feet.
The Summer SLA Program is Underway
We are thrilled to have just launched our Summer Student Leadership Accelerator (SLA) Program for 2024. Recruitment is open now and spots are filling up.
The SLA Program is the leading philanthropic youth leadership and fundraising program for high school students and bright young leaders in Southern California.
Throughout the program, high-school students will learn what it means to give back by learning about the mission and initiatives of the Amalfi Foundation while participating in a 6-week personal development, leadership skills, and business course. The module curriculum consists of topics such as building and leading a team, crafting a mission statement, setting KPIs and Team Goals, and the creation & execution of marketing plans.
Prioritizing Goals
Within the first meeting, our team works directly with our LCDI Candidates to establish their short term and long terms. It’s important that we allow the Candidates to choose their own path, while ensuring that their path is clear, actionable, and sustainable post-program. Each Candidate charts out their goals and works with our 1:1 Case Managers to help them establish a clear plan of action. Taking a comprehensive wraparound approach, we prioritize housing, career, financial, social, and emotional goals. It’s paramount that these goals contribute to the overall development of our Candidates throughout the LCDI Program.
Forging New Opportunities
Through our Local Community Development Initiative (LCDI), we’re proud to be lifting our community in Southern California out of extreme poverty and homelessness. Through our 6-month accelerator, we provide financial grants to cover basic needs and living costs such as rent, food costs, education, transportation. We provide 1-to-1 mentorship and coaching to secure stable housing, quality, full-time employment, and strategies for long term financial health.
