Rootdown La

Our primary goal is to offer and create more training and employment opportunities for South LA youth so that they can compete with youth from other parts of LA or the country who have more opportunities. Our Healthy Food Ventures and programs create opportunities that all youth need to thrive - such as safe spaces to learn, community service projects, mentorship, networking opportunities, and first job experiences. Resilient communities are built by connected and engaged people. Our youth-developed programs help youth find their interests while giving them the tools and skills to make the changes they want to see in their communities.
