Justice, Care and Opportunities Department Launches Incubation Academy Cohort 6
LOS ANGELES, CA (July 9, 2024) – The Justice, Care and Opportunities Department (JCOD) launched the sixth cohort of its transformational Incubation Academy today.
The Incubation Academy focuses on organizational growth, management contracting, capacity mapping and mentorship for community-based organizations (CBO) that serve justice-involved individuals and communities.
JCOD partners with The Center for Non-Profit Management to provide one year of training for CBOs led by underrepresented groups, such as formerly incarcerated, LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC communities, targeting the highest-need areas of LA County.
Cohort 6 of the Incubation Academy features 25 new organizations from each Supervisorial district. Most CBOs in Cohort 6 have fewer than five full-time employees and have never received funding from LA County.
To date, a total of 113 CBOs have completed JCOD’s Incubation Academy through the first five cohorts. These 113 organizations have collectively received more than $4 million in capacity-building grants and more than $28 million in Care First Community Investment Care Grants.
JCOD accepts applications for future Cohorts of its Incubation Academy on a rolling basis. For more information about the program or to apply, visit jcod.lacounty.gov/
