About Eritrean Community in greater la
Our Story
Founded in 2023, the Eritrean Community in Greater Los Angeles (ECGLA) is a 501(c)(3)
nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering the local community through dynamic
events and collaborative initiatives. We aim to inspire the youth to engage, learn, and grow
into productive members of society. Our mission is to provide educational resources and
mentorship opportunities, creating lasting, positive change.
Our journey began with a simple but powerful idea: that every individual deserves the
opportunity to thrive. After assessing the needs of our community and identifying key
challenges, our founders united to establish an organization focused not only on
addressing immediate concerns but also on fostering long-term solutions.
Over the past year, we have drafted and ratified our organizing principles, facilitated youth
and adult dialogues, and hosted various community events, including celebrations for
graduating students and outdoor activities such as picnics, BBQs, and games. Each
milestone reaffirms our commitment to the organization’s core values of equity,
sustainability, and empowerment.
As we look to the future, we remain dedicated to creating a brighter future for our
community through education and support. With the continued backing of our donors,
volunteers, and partners, we are confident in our ability to drive meaningful change and
build a stronger, more inclusive community.
Join us in making a difference. Together, we can transform our vision into action and
positively impact lives.
