AADAP – Gardena Office
Forty years ago, during one hot summer, 31 Asian American youth died of
drug overdoses. As much as elder members of the community wanted to
believe their kids “did not do drugs” this epidemic in 1971 jolted the
community into a shocking reality. This was their kids, and something
needed to be done. The community organized, held meetings, talked to
youth who were working with youth, trying to figure out what was really
going on. What they realized was people in the Asian American community,
both young and old, had nowhere to go when it came to drug abuse. These
youth needed a place to belong and someone to talk to, someone who
understood their culture and family and could relate to what they were going
through. A proposal was written and submitted to the Federal Government
asking for funding for the first ever drug abuse program targeting Asian
Americans. The proposal was funded, and in 1972, the Asian American
Drug Abuse Program was born. Today, some 38 years later, AADAP
remains one of only two programs in the nation with a mission to target and
design services for Asian and Pacific Islanders with drug abuse problems.
Unfortunately some of the same problems facing Asian Pacific Americans
then are the same problems many are facing now. A whole new generation
of youth are still struggling with identity and a need to “fit in.” Asian
immigrant youth and adults bring with them a whole new set of problems, as
they struggle with a new culture, language and way of living. For some,
drugs and alcohol are still a quick escape from pain. The problems of the
Nineties have also brought a whole new set of challenges. HIV/AIDS,
infants born exposed to drugs, people suffering from drug and mental health
problems, homelessness, youth in gangs…The need for AADAP is greater
than ever

SEA - Southgate Campus
Since 1972, Soledad Enrichment Action, Inc. (SEA) Education Centers
have provided high-risk youth and their families alternatives to gangs,
drugs and violence by providing them with alternative high school and
parenting education services, mental health therapy, drug & Alcohol
counseling, field trips and after school tutoring including arts and crafts
activities. The SEA Program was originally Founded in 1972 by
mothers from East Los Angeles whose sons had been killed by gang
violence.
The centerpiece of our program is the SEA Charter School, a
California Public Charter High School for high-risk youth. SEA's main
goal is to reduce school drop out rates and increase high school
graduation rates among high risk youth who have either been expelled
from or have dropped out of their home school and are likely to test
significantly below their peers academically. The youth that enter this
program do so with the knowledge that it is likely to be the last chance
they have as adolescents to turn their lives around. These youngsters
come from poor neighborhoods with entrenched gang structures. They
and their families tend to suffer from one or more afflictions including
poverty and unemployment, domestic violence, substance abuse,
cultural displacement, teen pregnancy, delinquency and lack of
education. SEA addresses the needs of youth in a holistic manner and
enlists the support and efforts of the entire family in solving the
problems of high-risk youth. We believe that as the family dynamic
becomes healthier and stronger, their children will be less likely to
engage in negative behavior.
http://www.seacharter.net/about_us/aboutUs.html
The SEA Charter School opened in August 18,
1997 after receiving the unanimous approval of its
special legislation by both houses of the
legislature, the signature of approval of Governor
Pete Wilson and final authorization by the Los
Angeles County Board of Education.
