CADRE, a multi-racial parent led organization in South Los Angeles, was founded in 2001. Led by African American and Latino parents and caregivers whose children attend neighborhood schools in the Los Angeles United School District (LAUSD), CADRE merges a community organizing strategy with a human rights framework to empower families to advocate effectively for their children over a range of issues. Under the previous strategic plan, CADRE was a core education grantee in Los Angeles. CADRE is in the process of completing a five-year strategic plan. Hazen’s $30,000 renewal grants in 2012 and 2013 will enable it to continue to implement its organizing agenda and to pilot new components called for in the new strategic plan.
