Welcome

 

"Without the help from InnerCity Struggle, I wouldn't have been able to improve my grades.  Now I want to go to college, maybe USC or UCLA.  I want to work at InnerCity Struggle when I grow up and continue to help other youth members and middle school students."

 - Alejandro Vergara, United Students Jr.

About Us

InnerCity Struggle has worked with youth, families and community residents for the past sixteen years to promote safe, healthy and non-violent communities in the Eastside.

 

We organize youth and families in Boyle Heights, unincorporated East Los Angeles, El Sereno and Lincoln Heights to work together for social and educational justice. InnerCity Struggle provides positive after-school programs for students to become involved in supporting our schools to succeed.

 

We have empowered students to reach their family's dream of college. The work of InnerCity Struggle demonstrates that youth and parents working together are a powerful force for improving their communities and making real change.

 

InnerCity Struggle has also educated and empowered thousands of Eastside voters to be heard at the ballot box on critical issues impacting our communities.
