What People Are Saying

  • “Legacy LA is a home. A safe and brave space for many young people. Having worked as a Case Manager for the last 3 years, I have witnessed first hand how Legacy LA transforms lives. Through the years, I have seen the power in young people believing in their voices. I have seen our young people walk the stage to receive their High School diplomas, grow into the leaders they have been destined to be as well as seeing them reach the goals and never forgetting to DREAM BIG!”

    —Alina C. (High School Case Manager/Education Advocate)
