Success in Challenges was Founded in Long Beach in 2001 by Rev. O. Leon Wood, Jr. and has served as a non-profit grass-roots social service agency since. Most of those we serve are BIPOC (Black, Indigenous People of Color) from low-income families that are dealing with life obstacles such as: the foster care system, incarceration, inadequate housing, lack of access to technology, employment, health insurance and basic needs. Success in Challenges serves as a voice and advocate for these families by connecting them to information and resources.
Our Mission is to provide community youth and adults with safe, interactive programs that promote good citizenship, character development, creativity and discipline, designed to inspire them to face life's challenges with enthusiasm and dignity. We strive to advocate for the underserved. Our programs have focused on social services, housing, youth mentorship, literacy, COVID-19 outreach & digital inclusion, mental health & trauma, job placement assistance, and more!
