VOTE FOR US FOR LA2050!

We are thrilled to be one of 25 organizations selected as a finalist in the My LA2050 Grants Challenge! We’re in the running to receive up to $100,000 to make LA the best place to CONNECT, but we need your help! Starting Monday, June 8th at 9 am Pacific, you can vote for our proposal online and encourage your family and friends to do so as well (Ages 14 and up). Voting will be open for one week! 

We will be CONNECTING by bringing our Art Attacks program into juvenile camps (virtually, if necessary, due to Covid-19) We will be using activities and lessons rooted in the arts to help students find their voice, harness its power, and use it to become not only civically engaged members of their community, but also leaders in organizations that are tackling issues that directly affect systems impacted communities, such as our partners, March for Our Lives. In addition, programming online may provide the advantage of bringing March for Our Lives speakers into the class virtually who would otherwise be unable to enter the camps because they are often under 18. We hope having communication with peers who have found leadership roles in their communities will inspire even more voter turnout and civic engagement from our students.
