Green Arrow Colab

Our new vision and values statement expresses what we hope to achieve: Youth agency: We believe tha

Goal One: Solidify new partnerships (3 in 2022)

Goal Two: Build a youth and elder advisory council

Goal Three: Hire more teachers and a program manager.

We are actively developing a restorative justice training for all teachers and employees. We have attended conferences for trauma-informed growth and somatics to weave into our healing modalities and better understand the population we are serving.

In the last year we have doubled down on our outreach so that we can connect with more organizations and youth that are in need of the programming we offer. Over the past year, Green Arrow Co-Lab has launched a pilot program at the Anti-Recidivism Coalition’s reentry house in Koreatown, Los Angeles. This project successfully engaged 8 residents in a year long program through gardening, healing work, and self-exploration. Additionally, we have identified four other organizations interested in hosting a project site (four site locations in California and one in New Mexico). As a new organization, over the past year, we have also recruited our full board and made headway into fundraising by networking and building relationships with area donors. Majority of our board has lived experience or deep work experience focused on our mission and vision. We are adapting and using the global and community changes and needs as a looking glass to where we should be focusing our efforts and where we are needed most using our expertise and offering.
