SBCC
Across our full range of innovative, grassroots programs and initiatives, we reach more than 20,000 families annually across Los Angeles County. It is our belief that sustained positive impact and community renewal, revitalization and restoration must be resident-led, community-driven, and asset based. SBCC is flipping that narrative and creating a structure to leverage all of the assets, gifts, and talents within a community in order to drive lasting change. As such, the SBCC model of community organizing places the long-term development and growth of relationships at the center of the process. SBCC’s commitment is to help build and sustain resilient, adaptable socially-engaged communities. SBCC believes that ensuring the well-being of families is key to improving the health, safety, and success of communities at large. Asset-based community development is the philosophical cornerstone of building a resilient, connected, thriving community. By building strengths and supporting residents rather than trying to solve deficit-based problems, communities will drive lasting change. Poverty is the result of a lack of investment in people’s gifts and talents, disenfranchised individuals and communities, racial and class prejudice, lack of respect for community wisdom, and the absence of educational equity. It is not defined as laziness, lack of ambition, reckless spending, poor judgement, indifference to education, deficient problem solving, lethargy, chronic substance abuse. There's intent and purpose behind everything we do. We are outspoken about the needs of others and always ready to rise to the occasion.
