Opportunity L.A.: The Ticket to Building College Savings for LA's Future Leaders

Los Angeles is a city filled with recreational attractions that cater to families. While these experiences create lasting memories for adults and children alike, it is crucial to also consider the long-term financial well-being of ourselves and our children. That's where Opportunity L.A., a program administered by the Community Investment for Families Department comes in offering a unique opportunity to establish college savings accounts and pave the way for a brighter future.

INVESTING IN COLLEGE DREAMS

Just as the City of Los Angeles Deferred Compensation Plan (DCP) helps City employees save and prepare for a successful retirement, Opportunity L.A. is a City-sponsored program that recognizes the importance of higher education and aims to remove financial barriers that may hinder a child's pursuit of college. By providing college savings accounts as a key feature of the program, it offers families a pathway to invest in their children's educational aspirations.

GETTING STARTED

Opportunity L.A.'s college savings account feature is available for families in Los Angeles that have first-grade students in the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) at a participating school. By prioritizing higher education and removing financial barriers, the program empowers children to envision a future where their dreams become a reality. Opportunity L.A. helps pave the way for a generation of future leaders who are equipped with the necessary tools to succeed academically and financially.
