Dream Big Youth Fellowship
Legacy LA created this program with a grant from the California Endowment. The Dream Big Youth Fellowship focuses on ten community youth each year participating in leadership and personal development activities in service to their communities. The objective is to train area youth in community organizing, leadership skills, and data collection strategies to plan Legacy LA's facilities and work, helping to develop and design future programs to serve youth. The fellows are working directly with Legacy LA’s design team, Quatro Design, to develop the conceptual drawings for the Armory.
