All Peoples Community Center
Sabbatical, 1999

Saundra Bryant served as Executive Director of All Peoples Community Center beginning in 1983. Founded in 1942, the Center is located two miles south of Downtown Los Angeles in a neighborhood that has seen dramatic demographic and social change. Saundra became intimately involved with the Center as a child when she was enrolled in its day care program at the age of two. She returned as an adult following graduate studies in Tennessee and after serving as a casework specialist with the California Youth Authority. Today, the Center offers a wide range of services, including day care, ESL and literacy classes, supplemental food distribution, job training, after-school tutoring and sports, a youth summer camp, and volunteer placement for seniors and retirees.

* Saundra is now retired and currently serves on Durfee’s Board of Trustees.
