Development Director
Job Posting
In 1994, InnerCity Struggle (ICS) became an independent center to meet the Eastside’s long-standing need for an organization through which the community could demand increased public resources, equity, and justice. ICS’s work is centered in four communities: Boyle Heights, unincorporated East Los Angeles, El Sereno and Lincoln Heights. For 17 years, ICS has worked to promote safe, healthy and non-violent communities by organizing youth, families and community residents in LA’s Eastside communities to work toward economic and social justice. Early in our history, we recognized public education on the Eastside has historically failed to serve as a vehicle for improving the quality of life of individuals and families. As a result, ICS sees educational justice as key to our mission of working with the community for economic and social justice. The core work of ICS is developing engaged and informed youth and parent leaders who can act as agents for creating quality schools and improving their community. ICS provides the leadership training, knowledge and skills necessary for residents to win public policy changes through collective civic action. Through these efforts, ICS has secured policy changes that have increased opportunities for young people to access a quality education.
