Redeemer Community Partnership

What Redeemer Community Partnership does

Redeemer Community Partnership (RCP) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit community development corporation founded in 1992 by Richard Parks, MBA, and headquartered in the Exposition Park neighborhood of South Los Angeles. The organization's mission is to create a safe, healthy, opportunity-rich community where children, youth, and their families in South LA can thrive, and it delivers this mission through three core programs: Adventures Ahead (after-school tutoring and youth development), School Choices (bilingual K-12 school selection guides in English and Spanish for LAUSD families), and Power Up South LA (a home and community electrification initiative developed in partnership with the UCLA Luskin Center for Innovation that connects residents to LADWP rebates and Rewiring America tools to convert gas appliances to electric and reduce indoor pollution).

The underlying "technology" is essentially a community organizing and direct-service platform rather than a software product: staff, teachers, volunteers, and board members run workshops, home electrification outreach, school-selection counseling, and grassroots advocacy, supplemented by a Wix-hosted website, an email newsletter dating to 2005, and active social media channels on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube. There are no disclosed AI/ML systems, APIs, SDKs, or proprietary software products. Revenue is generated entirely through charitable donations, grants, and volunteer support; RCP provides all services free of charge to community members and operates as a privately held nonprofit with no parent company, no equity ownership, and a board chaired by Rev. Bob Gay.

Operationally, RCP runs with a 1–10 person staff supported by teachers and interns, and it relies on a curated ecosystem of partners including UCLA Luskin (core), LADWP, Rewiring America, Faithful Central Bible Church, and Azusa Pacific Seminary. Strategic emphasis has gradually expanded from education and school choice into environmental health advocacy, reflecting the neighborhood's exposure to urban oil drilling and indoor gas appliance pollution. The organization does not disclose financial figures, has no commercial pricing, and has not raised institutional capital.

• Strategic Actions for a Just Economy (SAJE): South LA tenant and community organizing nonprofit. Comparable grassroots community organizing model targeting the same geography and demographic.
