THE ORGANIZATION The Core Institute for Motivational Advancement (CIMA) is a not for profit, 501 (c)(3) committed to the continued growth of our youth’s education in the areas of math, science, technology, health, financial literacy, and the performing arts through the inspiration of excellence from organization volunteers who spearhead our programs. Focusing on communities where traditional public instruction is a challenge, we have developed a network of partnerships with high schools located in Los Angeles, Orange County, San Fernando Valley and the Inland Empire where CIMA's mission is to build and sustain innovative hands-on relationships that make education a successful community endeavor.
