Here at Unbounded Futures, our goal is to provide children with another choice, open up their eyes to the possibilities that exist outside of child labor or child marriage, and prepare them for their journeys by equipping them with basic knowledge useful in any field. Currently, many of these children cannot receive a proper education due to the fact that they need to work to receive basic needs such as food, clothing, and shelter. At Unbounded Futures, we provide them with these necessities, so they have the time to learn, along with educational resources and instruction.

The mission of Larchmont Charter School is to provide a socio-economically, culturally and racially diverse community of students with an exceptional public education. We foster creativity and academic excellence; our students learn with and from each other in an experience-centered, inquiry-based learning environment. With participation from our entire community, we strive to instill in each student a dedication to improving the world we inhabit. We believe that every child in America should be able to attend an excellent public school that reflects the full diversity of his or her community. This, after all, was the opinion of our supreme court more than 50 years ago in Brown v. Board of Education. Yet, this promise is still not a reality for many students in Los Angeles. We believe Larchmont Charter School can help fulfill this promise for children in our communities. To this end, we focus on achieving excellence in three interrelated strands: diversity, community and achievement.
The Council for Economic Education (CEE) is the leading organization in the United States that focuses on the economic and financial education of students from kindergarten through high school.

We carry out our mission by providing professional development to teachers, teaching resources across the curriculum and nationally-normed assessment tools. We deliver our programs through in-person local workshops, partner organizations and online. It is only by acquiring economic and financial literacy that children can learn that there are better options for a life well lived, will be able to see opportunity on their horizon line and, ultimately, can grow into successful and productive adults capable of making informed and responsible decisions.
