Para Los Niños

Founded on Skid Row in Downtown Los Angeles, Para Los Niños (PLN) has a 44-year track record of creating effective, culturally competent programs for marginalized children, youth and their families. PLN places education at the core of its mission to break generational cycles of divestment, poverty and inequity, operating early education centers, charter schools plus expanded learning programs, and youth workforce services centers focused on high school drop-out prevention and recovery.

As the only children’s mental health provider on Skid Row, PLN provides evidence-based clinical mental health services and offers in-home counseling, case management and crisis intervention. PLN brings together community members with community-based organizations, city and county agencies, elected officials and businesses to address social determinants of health. PLN’s work is guided by the conviction that everyone, no matter their income, immigration status, native language or zip code, deserves the opportunity to unlock their potential.
