Back to School Drive
For the month of August, we conducted our first annual Back to School drive where we stopped at multiple community events within Watts. We successfully:
-
Provided 60 children with parents who have a disability or Health disadvantage with back to school supplies
-
Provided each child with Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) to prevent the spread of Covid-19 or related illnesses in within the LAUSD school system.
Teen Leadership Academy Graduation
On September 2nd, 2023 we celebrated the completion of our first Teen Leadership Academy! Over the course of 8 weeks, we trained, educated, and supported our teens to be advocates for their parents and guardians with disabilities or health disadvantages. We are BEYOND proud of each and every one of them!
