ServiceWorksLA kicks off today at All Peoples Community Center in South Central, Los Angeles! Youth begin to identify what leaders looks like and empower each other to share how they are leaders in their own right by naming their assets and owning them. This powerful narrative also includes strengthening and building their communication styles and coming together to create community agreements as they continuously take action in each other's learning by building long lasting relationships. Thanks and big ups to the passionatley dedicated team: Ana Torres, Fabiola Lopez, Sarah Reyes, Yensenia Morales and Alonzo Warren.

With their canvassing skills built and 40+ deep. ServiceWorks Los Angles Scholars at YouthBuild Home Sweet Home set out to knock on the hearts of their community and invite them in to take part in their Capstone Project only 2 days away. Like to support their impact!

"Absolutely! I can come and I know my grand children will be interested, they love gardening and art" was the response of one of our community members when asked if they would commit to coming out to the Capstone Project fully created and ran by our ServiceWorks Los Angeles Scholars at YouthBuild Home Sweet Home Charter School.

ServiceWorks Los Angeles will be coordinating a ServiceWorks Youth Council over the summer from July 5th-7th and July 12th-14th, 3pm-6pm @ CDTech If you are interested and want to apply, RSVP by visiting www.tinyurl.com/SummerSW.

This Saturday, ServiceWorks took students to the Immigrant Youth Empowerment Conference. On this full day of empowerment, we learned about a variety of subjects from self-care for social activists to social medai for activists, how to make your dollar count and SO MUCH MORE.

So empowering to join hundreds of other students from all over Southern California to build and learn with each other for immigrant rights!

After 11 long weeks of work and grind, our Scholars got the chance to relax and just have fun during their graduation celebration. Thank you so much for a fantastic time together!

TiDo will miss seeing y'all on Tuesdays!

Let's celebrate our Scholars from Maya Angelou on a successful Capstone Project about animal cruelty! They recently finished their capstone project in which they collected 111 surveys from their classmates. These surveys showed that not enough folks knew that spaying and neutering was required by law. To that end, they went classroom to classroom and spoke to their classmates about why it was important to spay and neuter their pets and how it was related to the overpopulation of dogs and cats in Los Angeles animal shelters and why it's good for public health.

A round of applause!

Scholars from our Saturday Leadership Institute graduated from the ServiceWorks program today. Honored to have been apart of their academic and professional journeys.

ServiceWork scholars completed their capstone project this past Saturday at the 11th Avenue Park Clean-up. In collaboration with Los Angeles Neighborhood Land Trust, scholars were able to clean-up the community and coordinate an arts and craft activity for children in the neighborhood. Great work scholars!

While building their project management skills, our scholars at A Place Called Home take action now to engage in a high energy dialog around challenges they are passionate about addressing in their community in readiness for creating and fully running their very own capstone project.

Our Saturday Leadership Institute scholars are learning how to create logic models for their Capstone Project. It's never too early for community change.
