Between 2022 and 2025, Educate California provided coaching and educational support to participants in Los Angeles County’s Guaranteed Income Pilot program.
Building on that experience, the Opportunity Youth Success Initiative (OYSI) provides low-income and disconnected young adults with something many programs cannot: a trusted Youth Success Coach who stays engaged as they work toward their goals.
Each Youth Success Coach supports approximately 50 young adults, providing individualized planning, accountability, education and workforce guidance, financial capability development, and connections to opportunities. Educate California’s LifePrep Academy platform strengthens the coaching relationship by providing individualized planning, communication, educational and workforce resources, goal tracking, progress monitoring, and outcome measurement.
Technology supports the intervention; the relationship is the intervention.
