Changing Futures Through Real-World Experience: 2024 McCabe Impact Fellowship Celebration.
Last month, marked the culmination of another successful year of the McCabe Impact Fellowship at Ready to Succeed, where scholars gained hands-on experience through paid internships at local nonprofits and social impact organizations across Southern California.
As always, the highlight of the program is the final presentation. Scholars come together and showcase the projects they worked on throughout the summer. This year, they collaborated to shine a light on critical areas in need of social impact, sharing insights and innovative solutions to a panel of judges and the rest of RTS Community.
These presentations are more than just a summary of their work—they are a testament to the lasting impact support from people like you has on the lives of these scholars.
A huge shoutout to some of our partners in attendance yesterday: AltaSea at the Port of Los Angeles CASA of Los Angeles Group Effort Initiative Hollywood CPR LA-Tech.org National Center for Youth Law Stepping Forward LA WIN Young Storytellers.

Your Generosity Allows Students to Focus on Building their Careers
Even with college scholarships, research shows that underserved students are on average $5,000 short of being able to meet their basic needs including food, rent, and school supplies. To bridge this gap, Ready to Succeed (RTS) is starting a basic needs scholarship.
“Students often have to take on two and three jobs just to make ends meet, often preventing them from graduating college and launching a career,” says Romi Lassally, co-executive director and co-founder of RTS. “We want to give them the opportunity to think about their future, not just survive.”
When you donate today, your generosity can allow students to pay for their basic needs, propelling them one step closer to a successful career and a bright future.
$100 – Pays for one week of basic needs support
$500 – Pays for one month of basic needs support
$1,250 – Pays for three months of basic needs support
$5,000 – Pays for an entire year of basic needs support – most impactful level of support!
