Operation Progress is unique in its long-term programming that spans across a child’s development and over the course of many years. Our long-term model allows Operation Progress to build relationships with youth and parents while creating stable and consistent support systems that aid in their positive growth, development, and grit. Through our Safety and Support Pillar, we provide a safety net of support through committed LAPD and civilian mentors, parents, and staff.
