Congratulations to the Foundation for the Los Angeles Community Colleges on their transformative and life-changing BOOST initiative! Building Outstanding Opportunities for Students to Thrive (BOOST) is a Guaranteed Basic Income (GBI) program that will provide $1,000 in unconditional monthly payments for one year to 250 LACCD students pursuing careers in healthcare. This groundbreaking program is made possible through over $4 million in private funding from The Eli and Edythe Broad Foundation and the California Community Foundation. BOOST is the largest GBI program for community college students in the U.S. to date and the first to include a Randomized Control Trial (RCT). #LACCD #BOOST #GuaranteedBasicIncome #StudentSuccess #HealthcareCareers #MakingHistory #CommunityCollege Press release - https://bit.ly/3CFgJ7O
