Support - Green Dot

Change the Odds for Students

Green Dot’s schools are located in communities with the highest need in Los Angeles. Our schools are small, supportive environments that prioritize the needs of all students. The work we do is guided by an unwavering belief in the potential of every student to graduate prepared for college, leadership, and life.

Growth

Innovate on our core academic program to accelerate learning & meet individual student needs. Ensure every student is high school and college-ready by the time they graduate.

School Uniforms

School uniforms play a big role in our schools. They keep students focused on education by removing “what to wear” anxiety, decrease bullying and increase safety. Uniforms enhance school pride and community.

College Persistence

Green Dot has reimagined the scope of a high school’s responsibility, building a centralized Counseling and College Persistence team that identifies and invests in powerful levers to support students to and through college. Green Dot focuses efforts within three stages of the journey: In School; Over the Summer (between high school and college); and Freshman Year.

Model Flex

College Readiness and 7 Advanced Placement courses.

Opportunity Fund

The Opportunity Fund was founded to subsidize college-related “hidden costs” that would otherwise impede Green Dot seniors and current college students from attending or remaining enrolled in a competitive 4-year college with high likelihood of degree attainment.

Animo Voices Writing and Art Competition

Ánimo Voices supplements our core instructional program by helping to provide our students with an audience and purpose for writing that goes well beyond the four walls of their classroom and core instruction.

Foster Youth Support

5% of Green Dot students experience homelessness. That’s 2.5x the rate of LAUSD. In addition to learning, school may be the only place students are receiving case management, mental health support, and nutrition.

College and Career Pathways

Green Dot schools offer a variety of opportunities for students to earn college credit and to train in competitive career paths

African-American Student Achievement

We seek to close opportunity gaps for our Black scholars and families through asset-based practices that empower our scholars to thrive both academically and socio-emotionally.
