Since 1982, members of the Achievement Trust have worked devotedly toward the success of the renowned Achiever Program. The Achiever Program supports male African American high school seniors as they prepare for college and achieve their life goal. The focus is to prepare these young men, referred to as ‘Achievers’ for the challenges of life, with an emphasis on contributing to society and their community. They receive assistance with college preparation, advice on entrepreneurial skills, participate in motivational workshops and guidance in community involvement. The Achiever Program has been recognized by the Los Angeles City Council; won National and Area Link Program Awards; and, has been featured on local and national television programs.

WE GIVE LOCAL LEADERS THE RESOURCES TO CULTIVATE ECONOMIC AND ECOLOGICAL WELLNESS FOR THEIR COMMUNITIES AND THE EARTH. WellKind provides leadership training and ecological and economic resources from a perspective that recognizes local leadership, systems thinking, and our inherent connection to nature. We focus on local leaders because we know the best solutions are place-based and culturally appropriate. Our work is to support these leaders as partners and collaborators to facilitate the emergence of locally-appropriate solutions from the communities themselves, and provide the resources needed to help make them happen. We look at the whole system, intentionally designing programs that work towards community resilience - helping communities build the capacity to meet their own needs. By fostering leadership within the unique context of each community, we seek to restore the web of relationships - to self, each other and the planet - that form the roots of a thriving planet. We consider wellness as the intersection of optimal health for people and the planet, economic empowerment, and resilient communities. We ground our work in regenerative solutions and relationship-based design, making use of existing assets so that projects will have an enduring, positive effect for the communities we collaborate with. Working in solidarity with local leaders, we weave stronger relationships to self, to each other, and to the planet that revive our sense of connection and hope, ensuring everyone has what they need to thrive.
