CONNECTING PEOPLE TO NEEDED RESOURCES

OUR MISSION

Elite Skills Development (ESD) is dedicated to improving the social and economic conditions of the Black community, and underserved communities, in the City of Long Beach. Elite Skills Development aims to provide valuable resources to the community by delivering accurate and reliable information, educational programming, mentoring, and culturally affirming services 

 

Our programs operate through a culturally responsive, healing-centered, and trauma-informed approach that focuses on the collective healing and economic resilience of all of our participants.

Our Programs

Black & Well LBC

Elite Skills received a CARES ACT grant to create a culturally relevant health guide, brochures, and videos aimed at reducing the risk, transmission, and spread of COVID-19 and other health issues.

Historic Black Cultural District

The HBCD honors and maintains the heritage, traditions, and contributions of African Americans. It encompasses historically important locations like churches, schools, parks, libraries, and community centers, along with businesses and galleries that highlight Black art, music, literature, and cuisine.

Ladies First

Ladies First was founded in 2000 by six mothers who aimed to create a supportive community for their daughters, guiding them from Middle School to College. As the years went by, their daughters began inviting friends and the organization flourished.

Elite Skills
Academy

The Elite Skills Academy, established in 2009, offers mentoring and advanced athletic development and training. The program has supported more than 300 young male athletes, ranging from middle school to college and even into professional levels.
