The Connect to College Mentoring Program is designed to inspire disadvantaged, low income children to stay in school, go to college and break the cycle of poverty.
Through our Community Alliance for Urban Sustainable Agriculture (C.A.U.S.A) program, parents with farming expertise and whose children are in our program, are employed raising local, pesticide-free produce for the community.
Medicine for the Economically Disadvantaged (MED) supports idealistic young doctors, dentists, optometrists, and pharmacists who serve in community clinics in low income communities.
We are providing educational loan repayment assistance to 170 doctors and other primary care professionals so that they can afford to take jobs serving the poor in community clinics.
The geographic range of our doctors:
34 Cities
4 Counties throughout Southern California
Patients they serve each year: 323,661
Some of them owe more than $800,000 in educational debt from college and medical school
Uncommon Good is the first US site for the revolutionary peer-to-peer LICBT program
Uncommon Good hosts the first mental health LICBT pilot program in the United States.
An independent third party evaluation of the program found that every client who participated began with moderate to severe levels of depression, anxiety and/or stress, and by the end of treatment these levels had returned to normal in every case.
Uncommon Good will be saying goodbye to its founder and Executive Director, Nancy Mintie, at the end of 2024.
