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.
