EduCare Foundation’s mission is to inspire and empower young people to become responsible citizens, compassionate leaders, and to live their dreams. Our high quality, heart-centered after school enrichment and success programs enable students in low-income communities to achieve excellence in personal, social and academic pursuits.

EduCare is currently a Beyond the Bell after school service provider at 17 Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) high schools, 2 Lynwood Unified School District (LUSD) high schools, and 1 LAUSD middle school. Over 2,500 LAUSD students participate in EduCare’s comprehensive after school programs each school day.

Recent evaluations conducted by Evaluation, Research and Cyber-Solutions (“ERC”), LAUSD’s Beyond the Bell Branch’s evaluator, have indicated the following:

- Students participating in EduCare Programs throughout four years of high school graduated at a rate of 89.0% versus the 68.2% graduation rate of non-EduCare students, nearly 21% higher.
- Students attending at least 30 days of EduCare’s Programs were 24.4% more likely to achieve 96% regular school day attendance than their peers who did not attend after school programs.
- Students attending EduCare’s Programs achieved higher California Standards Test (CST) scores in English and Math than their peers who did not attend after school programs.

In November 2010, LAUSD’s Beyond the Bell, EduCare, arc, and !Mpact People were awarded the “Innovation in High School After School Collaboration and Partnerships” award by the California After School Network for the exemplary Take Action Campaign, a youth leadership development program for high school students. In 2012, EduCare’s After School Programs were recognized both nationally and statewide in 2012 as: A Best Practice / Dropout Prevention by Afterschool Alliance (D.C.) and A Best Practice in Summer Programs for the ACE Program, by Learning in Afterschool (LIAS) Group (San Francisco).
