This past June, we celebrated a powerful milestone in our Youth Leadership Program. A culmination of learning, growth, and community.

Over the past year, 36 youth joined us on this journey. They explored organizing vs. activism, connected with changemakers like Dr. David Turner and Dr. Victor Rios, dove into financial literacy, and visited cultural hubs like Color Compton.

This celebration wasn’t just about looking back, it was a launchpad. Many of our youth will now lead their own peer-led financial wellness workshops this summer.

The leadership is real. The future is bright. And we couldn’t be more proud. 💙
