Although Jamico had given up on life and had repeated two grades in school, he was fortunate to have a supportive family and the opportunity to participate in mentorship programs for young men. Under the guidance of First African Methodist Episcopal leaders and Angel City Links Achievers Inc. mentors he found that when he did not believe in himself, others did! Without mentorship, Jamico would have fallen into the violence that continues to plague South Los Angeles. He excelled academically, graduating Summa cum laude earning degrees from Tuskegee University and Harvard University. During his stay at Harvard Jamico launched his life-long campaign of educating youth in Bedford Stuyvesant and Roxbury. He returned to Watts and became a teacher at Markham Middle School and Los Padrinos Juvenile Hall. He has for the past two decades developed after-school and mentoring programs for young people from infancy to college. As Jamico would say, “from the cradle to the calculus.” He went on to bring a STEM education program to students across LAUSD. Due to his efforts, partnering schools have seen dramatic increases in students’ math and science scores. In 2016, he became the Executive Director of Avalon Carver Community Center. Under his leadership, the organization has doubled its size and expanded programs to include an on-site YouthBuild High School, 150-bed transitional age youth shelter, prevention and education programs reaching vulnerable youth across Los Angeles County. He is currently working with Microsoft and a host of local nonprofits to ensure that inner city youth have access to literacy, coding, and STEM inspired learning opportunities. Jamico is committed to ensuring that youth growing up in South Los Angeles have the same opportunities he did. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f3d3db0444ba422866e4785/1613709833653-RYL4O6IAR640MHPI8R3Q/elida%2Barroyo.jpg Our Team Elida Arroyo Prevention Specialist https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f3d3db0444ba422866e4785/1613707843241-JBSL0LW0YDG47IB4XO67/alma%2Bduarte.jpg Our Team Alma Duarte DUI Counselor https://www.avalon-carver.org/programs-3 daily 0.75 2022-03-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f3d3db0444ba422866e4785/1613605284120-O8WEDAX5VJ4S55EC2RVL/Screen+Shot+2021-02-17+at+2.40.33+PM.png Programs (Copy) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f3d3db0444ba422866e4785/1613605190311-ZGJTO5DQ2NAEQNHGT8KU/Screen+Shot+2021-02-17+at+2.42.51+PM.png Programs (Copy) We were joined by representatives from local businesses, scholars, educators, community members, social workers, and more to hear about how they can partner with Hillcrest Elementary and Music Magnet and its vision for transforming education in the community. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f3d3db0444ba422866e4785/1615348250402-VH59V0MC4HEXDW2VR00R/xCentered_2+Purple.jpg Programs (Copy) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f3d3db0444ba422866e4785/1615351106290-3156DDPQFDITFS1FA07A/Screen+Shot+2021-02-26+at+3.09.13+PM.jpeg Programs (Copy) Dr. Degruy Facilitating our Be the Healing: Education Reparations panel for High School students throughout LAUSD. https://www.avalon-carver.org/mobile-stem-labs daily 0.75 2022-03-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f3d3db0444ba422866e4785/ec7ebf0a-35de-4de2-9d44-543c895ff8f3/IMG_0417.jpg Rites of Passage - Make it stand out.
