Community leadership training for youth in under served Los Angeles neighborhoods.
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.
LA Commons community based projects allow young people to gain the skills, confidence and vision needed to become leaders in their communities. We've worked with young people creating light pole banners, murals, woodblock prints and other public art.
Through our community based art and cultural literacy programs young people become stakeholders in their communities and in that process transform their lives and their neighborhoods.
This project has provided additional documentation in a PDF file (projdoc.pdf).
