Fast Pitch
Over nine months, we create space for Los Angeles's social justice leaders to build community and learn from one another as they hone their systems change strategy, explore liberatory team culture practices, hone their messaging, and expand their relationships and resources. SJPLA's signature Fast Pitch training is a core part of this program.
Through the Fast Pitch training, nonprofit leaders prepare to share their stories and connect with our SJP coaches who support them along the way. The training culminates here, where participants bring their stories to the Fast Pitch virtual stage.
Philanthropy Development
We work with individuals on their philanthropic journeys in service of creating a thriving, equitable, and healthy Los Angeles. We create powerful relationships amongst our Partners and nonprofits, providing learning opportunities, and resources to grow their impact.
Systems Change Acceleartor
The SJPLA Systems Change Accelerator bolsters the growth and impact of initiatives tackling the root causes of Los Angeles’ most pressing social problems.
Over nine months, the cohort model supports nonprofit leaders with lived experience as they hone their systems change strategy, explore liberatory team culture practices, amplify messaging, and expand their relationships and resources. SJPLA has found that supporting these foundational elements accelerates an organization’s ability to create systemic community impact.
Consulting and Facilitation
We each have a role to play in creating more just communities. We’re here to support you in finding yours.
