The Leaven currently operates 10 after-school tutoring centers in both Northern and Southern California, with plans to double the number of centers this year. Created through the partnerships of local community organizers, elected officials, churches, schools, businesses and social clubs; The Leaven continues to share the love and compassion of Christ through acts of mercy and help to our neighbors.

Each school day, The Leaven helps children improve their reading and math skills, understand and complete homework, and develop the necessary skills for success in school and in the future. The Leaven's centers are located right where these at-risk kids live, allowing our centers and its staff to become true members of the communities they serve. By working with the community, The Leaven is "helping kids & communities rise."
