El Cajon Collaborative's 2026 Safe & Healthy Streets Resident Leadership Academy (RLA) is Accepting Applications.
15 Applicants Accepted-Click on the QR Code or go to the Join Our Email List page to apply.
Training Begins Wednesday, August 12, 2026 at 4:30 pm
This is a 10-week learning session on Safe & Healthy Streets in El Cajon. You will build leadership and organizing skills with local leaders, learn how to make our roads safer for everyone including our students walking and biking to school through infrastructure and help educate students about their safety. At the conclusion we will work together to implement a Community Improvement Project (CIP) focused on street safety and plan a Safe Streets Resource Fair & Bike Rodeo for Cajon Valley Union School District students. Optional field trips will be available and you will earn an RLA Certificate of Completion as a graduate of the program.
The long-term vision is empowerment of community members throughout San Diego County, the state and the nation, using a community-training curriculum, training manual and broad public outreach. The Resident Leadership Academy is a true investment in human capital within commonly overlooked neighborhoods that in the past have not been viewed as priorities. These communities are now provided the opportunity to build leadership capacity and create positive changes in their neighborhoods. Funding is made available through Live Well San Diego (HHSA).

It may be hot in the sun this summer, but it's cool in the shade. Thank you to San Diego County Employees’ Charitable Organization (CECO) for our beautiful new tables. Our community gardeners have a beautiful place to rest and our families have a relaxing location to meet.
Watch our Garden Grow
With support from The San Diego Foundation and the County of San Diego Office of Environmental Justice & Sustainability, local residents are creating a multicultural garden that promotes sustainable practices at Little House. We are excited to harvest our first crops later this summer. Come enjoy all that Little House has to offer.
