Back to School Resources

Leaders at Khmer Girls in Action are kicking off the new school year outreaching to Southeast Asian freshman and sophomore students attending LBUSD to apply to our Young Women & Young Men’s Empowerment Program!  After completing our year-long program, as well as SOI- Summer Organizing Institute, leaders like Felix feel empowered and are now looking to break the record for the number of people they recruit to apply!

Going back to school is a big deal for students and families transitioning to a new pace of responsibilities. Sustaining excitement and focus throughout the school year happens when students and our communities have the resources to stay healthy, connected, and engaged to learn inside and outside the classroom. 

Here's our back to school list to get you all pumped and ready to succeed!

Watch this video with KGA alum and preschool teacher, Jocelyn, who reminds us that one way to make schools a safe and healthy place to learn all year long is by making sure people in our lives, ages 6 months and older get the COVID-19 vaccine.

Adopt the People's Budget!

Our families and communities can heal and thrive when when we are resourced and cared for. 

Can you spare 30 seconds to tell our mayor, council members, and city manager that our Long Beach communities are not yet represented in this upcoming year's budget?

The City’s budget is a moral document that should reflect our city’s values and priorities!
