Project Needs and Beneficiaries
Our project serves at risk youth between 15 and 25 in underserved Los Angeles communities through art and cultural literacy programs. Young people in these communities are particularly vulnerable to the struggles of urban life: poverty, poor education and gang violence.

Project Message
"The Central American heritage installation beautified the park and changed everything. Now, rather than being afraid to go there, we see the park and the community as ours.”
