Our Program Breaks Barriers

Who We Serve

Students at Pine Grove Elementary School in grades Pre-K to 5 from low-to-moderate income households in Shreveport-Bossier, especially those attending low-performing schools or facing academic hardship.

Why It Matters

Low readiness rates, academic gaps, and lack of afterschool safety disproportionately affect local youth. SJCL’s Youth Development Program gives students the tools, guidance, and support needed to overcome these barriers and succeed.

Building safer, stronger communities through service and hope.

With Gratitude to Our Sponsors

We are deeply grateful for the generous support of the Carolyn W. and Charles T. Beiard Foundation, Caddo Parish of Shreveport, Louisiana, and the Social Justice Civic League’s Board of Directors.
