Who We Are

Established in 2023, the Eritrean Community in Greater Los Angeles (ECGLA) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to empowering the local community through events and collaborative initiatives. Our mission is to inspire and engage youth by providing opportunities for education, growth, and mentorship, fostering their development into productive members of society.

In our first year, we ratified our organizing principles, facilitated intergenerational dialogues, and hosted events including graduation celebrations, youth meetings, children’s activities, outdoor events, and community picnics.

Looking ahead, ECGLA remains committed to building a vibrant, inclusive community. With the support of donors, volunteers, and partners, we aim to drive meaningful change through active engagement and partnership. Join us in shaping a brighter future for our youth and creating a lasting impact in our community and beyond.
