Organizations Filed Purposes: NCJW/LA is committed to advancing economic justice for women and their families. NCJW/LA keeps Angelinos housed with emergency rental assistance program, opens doors to opportunity through Scholarships, and expands the safety net for women and families by advocating for laws and policies that protect Californians.

National Council of Jewish Women, Los Angeles Section (NCJW-LA) is a 501(c)(3) organization which was founded in 1909. It is a grassroots organization of competent staff, engaged volunteers, and social justice advocates that work together to address the social, economic, and political challenges facing women and their families. NCJW-LA improves the quality of life for Los Angelenos through responsive social services, community services, and action.

In 2019-2020, our Rental Assistance Program was expanded to provide up to three months of rental assistance combined with educational support programs that covered both tenant's rights and understanding/improving credit. Additionally, a special pilot Rental Assistance project was launched for single, female, heads-of-household with dependents living in Los Angeles.In March, when Los Angeles County and the State of California locked down, we were determined to continue supporting our community. In partnership with private and public funding sources, we retooled our Rental Assistance Program into an Emergency Rental Assistance Program and provided $306,000 in direct assistance to 196 households between March and June 2020.

NCJW/LA works toward creating a just society and supports the needs of women, children, and families by training people to become effective advocates. Members and volunteers participate in an annual Lobby Day on behalf of important bills around issues that range from economic justice, gender-related violence, human trafficking, immigration rights, gun violence prevention, children's rights, and reproductive justice. In 2019-2020, Lobby Day was virtual. The Advocacy and Legislative Community Engagement ("ACE") program raises awareness about the impact of these issues through campaigns, special events, and educational outreach programs. ACE is also home to our Advocacy Training Project, which is a six-week training program to empower self-advocacy. In 2019-2020, we had about 30 participants.

Change the Talk is a peer-to-peer education program designed to transform the conversation around the topics of sexual violence and consent. In the 2019-2020 year, Change the Talk reached more than 3,000 students and engaged Peer Educators in more than 3,000 hours of trainings and workshops. All of the content and curriculum was updated and digitized into online modules. It was determined by the Board of Directors that the program would be handed off prior to the 2020-2021 fiscal year as the scope of work was outside of the new strategic focus on economic justice for women. After a lengthy process and in-depth review, the program was granted to SafeBAE, a national youth-driven organization dedicated to healthy relationships for youth. The program was granted along with funds to support the success of the transition, which occurred in June 2020.
