Founded in 1993 in response to the LA Civil Unrest, we’ve evolved into a dynamic, multi-service youth and community center serving South Central youth in elementary through high school and into mid-twenties, and their families. For more than three decades, we’ve been dedicated to creating a safe, nurturing environment where young people can thrive, regardless of their zip code. Chief Executive Officer's Bio Norayma Cabot As Chief Executive Officer of A Place Called Home (APCH), Norayma Cabot drives the organization’s mission and strategic vision to ensure that its programs remain responsive to the evolving needs of youth, families, staff, and the South Central Los Angeles community. With over two decades of leadership experience in nonprofit management, Norayma brings deep expertise in strategic planning, organizational growth, community engagement, and funding diversification. Before joining APCH, Norayma served as Executive Director of the Survivor Justice Center, one of few non-attorney leaders to helm a legal services organization. Under her leadership through the COVID-19 pandemic, the Center emerged more financially resilient and operationally innovative. She also revitalized the South Los Angeles program of the Community Development Institute, strengthening early childhood services and rebuilding community trust. Earlier in her career, Norayma served as Executive Director of Plaza de la Raza Child Development Services, where she oversaw substantial program expansion and established Los Angeles County’s largest center for infants and toddlers. During her tenure, she secured more than $6 million in funding to enhance and expand facilities across multiple sites. Appointed by the Governor to the State Interagency Coordinating Council on Early Intervention, Norayma has also testified before the California State Assembly on behalf of Los Angeles County families, advocating for equitable access to early learning and family support services. The daughter of immigrants, Norayma is deeply committed to advancing equity, protecting families’ rights, and ensuring that all communities, regardless of socioeconomic background, have access to opportunity and growth. She earned her B.A. in Urban Learning and M.A. in Education from California State University, Los Angeles. Norayma also serves as an adjunct professor at East Los Angeles College and earned a certificate in Strategic Partnerships in Nonprofit Management from Harvard Business School.

Da Vinci RISE High is designed to support the unique needs of youth navigating foster care, housing instability, the juvenile justice system and/or other circumstances that have caused disruptions in their academic journeys. Students are at the center of the RISE model; all aspects of the school experience adapt and respond to individuals’ needs and goals as they evolve, making it possible for students to succeed academically while caring for their mental, physical, and social-emotional needs. To that end, the student experience involves instructional, behavioral, and holistic components. A Place Called Home welcomes all RISE students as members who have access to after school arts, education, and wellness programming, as well as wraparound counseling and case management support. As APCH members, RISE students experience the enriching content and hands-on learning opportunities that we offer, empowering them to grow academically, socially, and emotionally while working toward high school graduation. APCH’s Mentoring, Higher Education, and Workforce Readiness programs proudly support RISE by delivering dynamic, engaging workshops during their school day, rooted in our Positive Youth Development model. Graduation Pathways RISE schools have three graduation pathways available that align to California regulations. Each pathway has slightly different credit requirements and end goals to align with students’ postsecondary plans. Flexible Schedules School counselors collaborate with students and their parents/guardians to design a schedule that meets both their academic and personal needs. Blended Learning The flexible schedule at RISE schools is made possible through the use of blended learning. Students digitally access coursework through Google Classroom and Canvas to prepare for in-person instruction and project work time. Project-based Learning Teachers use interdisciplinary projects to connect students’ learning to their interests, passions, and strengths. These projects allow students to demonstrate their progress toward mastering universal competencies that focus on process over product. Mastery and Competency-based Instruction Students are evaluated based on the knowledge and skills they demonstrate rather than time in class or work completion. They are given multiple opportunities to revise and strengthen their work after receiving feedback from their teacher. Career Readiness Students engage in a variety of activities to expose them to postsecondary options and prepare them for life after graduation, including a mandatory World of Work course to learn how to create a resume, apply for a job, and interview; field experiences at local workplaces; and project-based learning aligned to actual careers.

We are dedicated to supporting youth in South Central Los Angeles from elementary school through their mid-twenties, providing programs and services designed to support their social, emotional, and economic success. It was the dance program that attracted me but then I stuck around because there were so many opportunities and being at APCH was shaping and building my identity. I would see black and brown women who were educated and getting their higher degrees. Now in graduate school, when I am nervous to speak, I look back and remember all those people who believed in me, and I know I have to speak up. I got courage from APCH.
