Elite Foundation

The Elite Foundation began in 1988 as an informal organization, established by successful immigrants to the United states of America from Nigeria. Our mission is to give back something to our community here in America, Nigeria, and other parts of Africa. Elite Foundation is challenging all people to join hands together to build a COMMUNITY CENTER t... hat will address the urgent need to provide new hope for at risk youth in the greater South Central Los Angeles community. We hope that this center will not only bring all people together, but also give hope, voice, and a place to all people. The foundation has developed the proposed Elite Foundation Community Center to provide a safe and nurturing environment for the provision of an array of support services and programs. The overall goal of the Community Center project is to improve the educational and social outcomes for at-risk children and youth in South Central Los Angeles Community.
