SLATE-Z Q4 Jobs Workgroup

At SLATE-Z, we address poverty and move South Los Angeles residents to economic opportunity by focusing on two sources of wealth building: living-wage jobs and small business and entrepreneurship.

As our nation enters the new climate-resilient economy, SLATE-Z works to ensure that South Los Angeles residents are trained and prepared for the economic opportunities ahead and that the high-quality jobs that will result from these investments can foster economic opportunity, stability, and mobility for South Los Angeles families.

SLATE-Z’s Jobs efforts are interrelated with its other levers of change: transit, education, public safety, and small business and entrepreneurship.
