The Challenge We Face Together
At-risk youth across Los Angeles face overwhelming barriers:
Lack of community, support and guidance
leaves them feeling isolated
​
Limited financial literacy
makes managing money an ongoing struggle
Lack of confidence and education
stifles their potential to succeed in a career
Without intervention, these challenges perpetuate cycles of poverty, underutilized talent, and systemic inequities.
