PostedJoin us in celebrating Marion Noble, whose fellowship with LA2050 wraps today!
Marion first connected with LA2050 as a 2024 Youth Ambassador and youth grantmaking committee participant, even taking the stage to speak during our 2024 Grantee Showcase.
Then, as the 2025 Goldhirsh Foundation Social Impact and Research Fellow, Marion helped refine and relaunch the LA2050 Youth Ambassador program, supported the LA2050 Grants Challenge, and contributed research across Los Angeles’ social impact landscape.
Today, Marion is a first-year Sociology PhD student at USC. Her scholarly interests include race and ethnicity, culture, education, social stratification, and philanthropy and nonprofit organizations. She also serves as a member of the Grants Review Committee for the USC Graduate Student Government.
Thank you, Marion, for your leadership, heart, and thoughtful partnership throughout this year. We’re so proud of you, and excited to cheer you on in your next chapter!
